A "guide" which, in this case, has over a thousand data points on both options, and has never seen even a single contradicting data point. That's considerably more reliable than the direct experience of any single nation. Furthermore, the editors should have tools to check the behavior of an option directly, allowing them to very easily verify the data on my site is correct for themselves.SherpDaWerp wrote:Reason being that Trotterdam's tool tracks literally every person who has chosen that option without any prior context of their nation and their existing stats, so it is, at best, a guide.

To be clear, this query is closed, and future reports based on Trotterdam's stat tracker are not desired.

This confused me quite a bit until I realised what it was meant to say — the words "just as ancient" form a single adjective, and should therefore be hyphenated as "just-as-ancient".an ancient religion that has a just as ancient feud with violetism

“I have an... alternative solution,” whispers your Minister of Alternative Solutions, Ayn Contra. “We could use the park to stage international training operations for our allies. I’m sure Marche Blanche would love our aid in developing “defensive strategies” against Marche Noire, and I hear they are willing to pay big Stars for the help. We can even keep the park open to the public to show that nothing shady or nefarious is going on... That’s a win-win-win in my book!”

"Defensive strategies" is a nested quote, so it should use single quotes.

Maybe the socialist forces took control again.
I think it's fine to have a few NPC nations that are constantly suffering from revolutions, coups, and/or highly unstable governing coalitions.

“Great!” sarcastically exclaims @@RANDOMLASTNAME_1@@'s valet after @@HE@@ has walked out of the room. “One more way the rich get it better off than the poor. My kids are even shorter than his/her, but I could never afford this treatment. You have to level the playing field. State-employed doctors should determine who truly needs growth hormone therapy, and the state should pay for it.”

Wouldn't it be "hers" when referring to the mother's child? Otherwise "shorter than her" would refer to the mother, not her offspring.

Hmm... the problem here is that this could be read both ways. It could be read as either local competition, meaning the iPears are local and thus they must exist in @@NAME@@, or as worldwide competition meaning international iPears are being mentioned.
Best to err on the side of caution and have a validity as written. Added a doppelganger to enable nations with no computers to receive the issue.

“But East Lebatuck started it!” whines Gretel Parke, one of your more petulant advisers. ”Cuttlefish-4 was just fine until that stupid Sputnak-3 hit it. We shouldn’t have to do anything other than tell the world where we’re putting satellites. It’s up to East Lebatuck to move out of our way!”
