This stat is a joke, and pretty much everyone on NS knows it’s a joke. My nation for example, has top 14% for weather, but in reality, Talkeetna Alaska is either snowy, dreary, or just freezing cold throughout most of the year outside June, July, and August. What is the reason why this stat still exists?

Which is ridiculous in itself... and its underlying assumption that increases in the 'Most Cultured' stat must involve people spending more time indoors ignores the fact that many cultural activities might be outdoors ones (especially for Bears, rather than just wimpy Humans...) anyway.

The interesting point is that Weather is both positively correlated with some stats that are typically seen as good things (Environmental Beauty, Health), and negatively correlated with other stats that are typically seen as good things (Culture, Intelligence), which means that if you just try to raise all of those stats whenever you get the chance, Weather itself will wander around rather randomly based on which issues you've gotten lately, sometimes seeing long strings of decreases and sometimes seeing long strings of increases - without having any actual randomness in its computation at all. I find that I seem to manage a slight net upwards trend, but there are often long periods where Weather just seems to keep going down and I wonder if I'll ever manage to get it back up to my previous maximum, although eventually I always do.SherpDaWerp wrote:It's actually not that random; it's affected by things that normally affect it, so rather than the weather encouraging you to go outdoors, going outdoors makes the weather nice!

Huh. I suppose negative meters of sunlight would mean that your nation is radiating more light back into space than it's receiving from the sun?Lord Dominator wrote:Personally, I’ve long been amused that a stat that would seem to indicate some kind of physical measurement (meters of sunlight) allows for some truly massive negative numbers
