New Catogory for stats: music!

[Lemurnesia]

New Category idea

Just an idea I had, NationStates could rank nations of their music industry or music output. Similar to “arms manufacturing” or “Agriculture”. Or their music quality (like if they had masterpieces) similar to food quality.

Maybe this fits into the Culture Category, but wouldn’t food quality do as well?

Full support.

Relevant:

Thank you for all the comments re industry reform. Sedge didn't originally post this as he wasn't sure if I, as designated PM/point Editor on the team for this, wanted to disclose current status, but I also think it's important people know where we're at.

You'll all be very happy to know that we've (the Editing Team) identified a whole host of new industries, and how industries are built/structured, and we're closing to finalising this and the conceptualisation/basic architectural stage. I am hopeful we'll move on to the start of what will be the implementation stage in the next few weeks. Many of the ideas mentioned here thus far re new industries will be reflected in some way in the new make-up.

That's not to say to expect the industry reform any time soon (#sorrynotsorry) but this update is just to let you all know that we're much further along than we have been before and it's an actual "project" now, and not just an "idea".

*insert Ron Paul "It's Happening" gif here*

P.S. please keep ideas coming (though I think penalising people for not being active in answering issues may be a bit of a non-runner, as that's a little mean )

Ooh can’t wait to see what they are

So totally on board with this. If it can't be a standalone thing, maybe they could combine it with film and TV and call it 'Industry: Entertainment,' measured by EGOTs per hour or something

[The Python]

Yep, looks like a good idea, why not!

LOL I like this. Yeah that's probs a better idea also we could have Copyright Strikes an hour or Mixtape Demos (ik, this is 2021) rejected per hour or Seeje-Eye Units. We could also include theatre and podcasts also maybe.

If it is entertainment as a broader term (other than just music than what I proposed, I was listening to Jimi Hendrix lol) than we should include stuff like games, sports, live performences and festivals and stuff like that. Or is that too far? IDK, I'm not a developer.

But I like music, so I would like it to be a standalone category.

Fris already quoted me, but we are planning for an entertainment industry, yes.

Will it be paired with IT?

No, I don't think so. Why would it be paired with IT?

Sedge has been supporting my long-ago suggestion of adding 'Bee-keeping'...

No, I don't think so. Why would it be paired with IT?

Television, radio, internet all provide venues for entertainment. I'm not, however, sure whether that brings that industry up or down. I think it's fair to lightly link it but there needs to be some real world digging.
