I used to have extremely high crime and youth rebelliousness ratings, but I've been on a lucky streak, and they've since dwindled. Law and order isn't even one of the government's priorities; it's really just boiled down to good fortune.

I only dismiss issues if they are completely insane, or if i think that it'll only have a negative impact. The worst has been banning video games, completely tanked my economy.

Ah. Yeah, I've had problems like that too, with curfew and conscription. I've had the chance to repeal conscription before, but I know the effects are going to sink me. If I remove curfew, it's definitely going to make crime shoot up.

It's all a double-edged sword. The only reason I got conscription in the first place is because I opted to conscript orphans and orphans alone, and the only reason I got curfew in the first place is because there was extreme gang violence or something to that effect. A bit unfortunate, but I suppose that's all by design.

I got sold on banning video games, being told that it would decrease obesity and improve education and the employment rate. The complete opposite happened.
It didn't even make a dent in obesity.

I once banned cars, gambling, smoking and alcohol consumption, and my economy was trash

we've all made poor decisions.
I got an offer to ban cars, I decided to have tolls instead. Increased tourism somehow and lowered taxes.

Greetings, Matthew; welcome to Right to Life! We hope you enjoy your NationStates journey here with us.

I avoid dismissing issues and try to select an option that i can be content with. Most of them are the same level of crazy, just different extremes. Or otherwise decent answers that have one big problem inbeded. Rigth now im trying to get my economy up, i recently got my healthcare better but since i banned gambling my economy hasnt been the same.

I wouldn't fret. It seems to me that out of all of the stats, the economy is one of the easiest to give a pick-up if you play your cards right.

One thing I've learned is that dismissing issues is absolutely necessary. The more issues you answer, the more your nation will suffer tax wise and government size wise. Like if there's a stupid issue like people asking what clothes your leader should wear, I dismiss it. That has nothing to do with real national issues. Or if there's an issue about Vendellamooreans in other countries who broke laws and went to jail, and the only options are "Let's blow up the country!!" or "Let's ban our people from leaving!!!" or "Forget those losers!!!" I just dismiss it.

Breaking news: The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD, broke into pieces and collapsed after a container ship hit one of its support columns at 1:27 AM ET Tuesday. Several people and vehicles fell into the water. Rescuers are working to find these people, but the air and water temperatures are chilly, and the wreckage of the bridge is unstable. Pray for everyone involved in this disaster.

Tragic. Sincerest condolences to everyone involved and their families.

Bro has secret socialism

Vendellamoore wrote:Bro has secret socialism

It's actually mostly due to a major update they did a few years ago that adjusted everyone's stats, but it seemingly didn't know what make of this nation and made it a bundle of bizarre contradictions. I flagged the issue with a moderator and they intervened to make it a lot less weird, but still pretty weird. I used to have 100% private and it made it 100% public, for one.

My dearest Right to Life,

I've made the sad decision to leave NS for good after 9+ years. When first stumbled upon this region in July of 2015 I immediately loved the community here. While being a citizen of Right to Life I was honored to be your president and senator multiple times. From growing as a person to developing my political and religious philosophy, you all have been amazing and I can never thank you enough. New Dolgaria, thank you for showing me how to be a fair and just judge (and always giving a good left wing viewpoint. XD) Horatius Cocles, thank you for showing me what grace and compassion looks like. Phydios, thank you for being the voice of reason and being the most politically and religiously similar person here, I know we had our differences early on but I appreciate all you've done. Aawia thanks for being the commander of the RTLA all those late nights. Culture of Life thank you so much for all of the chances you gave me and faith entrused me with, even when you shouldn't have (i.e. Texasa), I appreciate all of the wisdom and discernment you showed all of the lessons I learned from you. Others that aren't around anymore that I want to thank include UM, New Waldensia, Ovybia, Slavic Lechia, and Saint Pete.

I still believe that Right to Life is amongst the best of NS and thank you all for everything!

Best regards, The RCS
For President, Senator, and x2 Security Council Author
