Thanks for the reply, our ceding Delegate! Yeah, I figured many of these things out since my message. Also gotten some positive effects from issues now. It still seems that the game tries this "everything affects everything" approach, and sometimes your responses to issues yield some unexpected results. If anything, I like it that way! Not looking for optimization or some known good answers to issues, just playing casually and going with the whim at this time. Thank you for the welcomes and links!

Hi there, a newbie player introducing! I think I had a country here over 10 years ago, but no idea what or where it was. Stopped playing pretty quickly back then - but now I'm hooked! Trying to casually improve my kinda government-led left wing country. Thinking, if there's enough time, will and interest from my part, maybe start to roleplay a little at some stage. Write a World Factbook entry and get mapped or something. Won't promise huge activity though. So far the core gameplay with issues have been fun and challenging though. So far the game has proved very challenging and unexpected, in fact. Are there any positive developments to be had from issues? In my short time here, I've gotten my Civil Rights and Political Freedoms to drop. So, for example, encouraging the government to take actions instead of just sending thoughts and prayers led to: "the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster" randomly, didn't expect it. Also taking a middle ground whether "democracy should be compulsory" randomly made VOTING compulsory! So thus far, I've become a bit afraid to try to solve any issue, since it only seems to make things worse in ways I really don't expect! Trying to be a democracy here, not a socialistic dictatorship! So far cannot find how to endorse nations that don't have an endorsement button. Maybe someday. 🙄 Also wondering if this is the preferred platform still for posts like this, or should the Lyckasians rather talk in The West Pacific Regional Message Board "wall" / "feed" view instead. Or both!
