I highly doubt that there's an association IRL between policy preferences on this issue and obesity rates, and I don't think that it would represent "health policy" either. It shouldn't make nations thinner to prefer utilitarian smart cars. What is that supposed to represent, people cycling more because they don't want to ride in self-driving cars? I don't think they would.
This is a separate complaint, but I also think the issue is basically ill-founded. I don't think that the cars would be unpopular at all with that setup. I think people would just accept it as rational safety strategy and keep trying to make them safer over time.

Now I understand that the Socialism policy does state 'Industry is owned and run by the government in a centrally planned economy.' (which is annoying, but I'm not here to complain about the simplistic definitions of socialism and capitalism used in this game), but would some issues that have a more distinctly libertarian or democratic socialist bent be a good idea to add more ideological variety to the crop of socialist issues already in the game?
This is just off the top of my head here, but one basic issue idea could be your nation's leader gets caught in the middle of an argument between the leaders of socialist countries in favour of a more authoritarian-flavour of socialism and government and the leaders of socialist countries in favour of a more libertarian-flavour of socialism and government and you'd have to decide which side you'd want to support (of course, there'd be more than just 'I/My nation supports the authoritarian socialists' and 'I/My nation supports the libertarian socialists', this is obviously just a basic idea.)
Or for nations with both the Socialism and Devolution policies, how about an issue about localised economic planning? AFAIK there's no issues covering that topic (at least I don't think there are, if there are any, please tell me).

The first option is an AY for seed banks.
The second option suggests to fund a global seed bank along with other nations and rely on it (instead of multiple seed banks on a national level).
The third option basically dismisses the issue and pretends it doesn't exist. It could also argue that "we need money banks, not seed banks".
So, GI, what do you think?

The pandemic issue moratorium is, to my awareness, in place until the related issue chain is published. I do not know how or why there is a moratorium on war-related issues, however - or whether this is just a request for issue contest participants.
