Answering Issues

I'm curious as to what modus operandi you all use for answering NS issues. Do you answer each issue as it comes, independent of any others? Do you have a central philosophy you use for the nation to apply to all its issues? Do you prioritize something like defense, education etc. and always advance that? Or do you not do issues at all?

You don't have to answer issues, you can always take the option of no recieving issues. As long as you login regularly your nation isn't deleted.

As for myself, I usually answer issues according to the type of nation. For example the Eastern Empire cares about nothing but defense, leaving education, welfare, etc. getting no funds, or very little. On the other hand when answering for Neo-Macedonia, I take the religious approach and always chose the answer that has something to do with religion (If there is one).

The only nation I ever answered issues for according to how I personally felt was NeoRome, the others I answer according to what type of place and what type of leader they have.

I pretty much respond in character to issues.

Example: The Amish children currently have no paved roads, no cars, and no electricity, so if I get an issue involving cars, transportation, public transportation, computer spam, etc, I dismiss. They just don't apply. I I get an issue about education, I do, since we don't even have schools past the 8th grade. And gun laws? We don't have no stinking guns!

Same with all my nations - I respond in character, based on of they are libertarian, socialist, wackos, etc.

Esternarx - I answer issues based on trying to keep my freedoms and economy levels exactly as they are, which is:

civil rights - world benchmark
economy - frightening
political freedoms - excellent

because I've found that that combination gives me the highest gdp-per-capita. I also never answer any issues that have all negative consequences, like the one about public loudspeakers, where you can choose either gov. propaganda, mandatory commercial propaganda, or a ban on all advertizing. That issue sucks! Oh yeah, I also try to spend money on Defense, Law and Order, and nothing else.

Mayazteka - I'm trying to get all three ratings to the highest possible, which I think is corrupted, widely abused, and frightening. Once I get that, I intend to dismiss all issues.

Texarado - I pick the most evil option I can find.

Trilateral Commission - I always choose the option that favors industry. I also choose the options that promote atheism and militarism. This results in TC being in the top 20 in the world for manufacturing sectors.

Antebellum South - I always choose the option that is anti-education, pro-religion, pro-industry. This resulted in AS being 7th in the world for "Stupidest" and 2nd in the world for "Unhealthiest" and top 50 in the world for manufacturing sectors.

TC and AS are the only countries that I update with any regularity.

Saxe-Coburg- Usually my personal beliefs, unless it gets taken over by the Genesians, in which case I emphasize religion and social services.

Wadj- Personal beliefs

El Imperio Mejicano- Pro Business, Anti Civil Rights, Pro Religion

Sarawakh- Pro Business, Pro Civil Rights, Usually Militaristic as well

Le Congo Leopold- the evillest option. My two favorites are the human sacrifice one and the immigration reality TV one. (Although even if they do make it through the obstacle course, we just shoot them anyway).
