Education is a waste.

Muses: Why do people still post here?

You're a cynic.

Haha! Hopefully not so! That was more of a quasi-IC phrase. I hate cynics.

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.

No, it's Corrupted, Frightening, and Corrupted.

That's what I originally thought, but it's really widely abused, frightening, and corrupted.

Check it out: here

No, check out the stickies in the main NS forums. Trust me, I've gotten my freedoms up to widely abused once and I didn't go through frightening.

the aforementioned forum thread

and another, this one has a post by CE in it.

Oh. Odd. And my God, that was an old post by CE...

Yes it is. But then I've been active on NS for a very long time indeed. Now coming up to it's fourth year.

I have started trying to free up my nation a bit, and combined with increased defense spending, the results have been rather inpressive. I jumped 54 CP in a week.

Wow.

If you look at thirdgeek, I have a pretty large economy. If I didn't spend money on things like education, healthcare, and welfare, I could have a very high number of CP's. Damn socialism...

Go fascist! I mean, seriously, 40% of Zolony's budget is defence. If I could get that high with Quaon I'd be a force to be reckoned with, but damn education...

Yeah, I want to spend more on defense, but there's only so much I'm willing to sacrifice. The problem is that in the RD, the Emperor is understood to have been entrusted by God with his subjects' well-being. He holds his throne "By the Grace of God," and his mandate rests on his ability to take care of his subjects. Hence I like "Father Knows Best State" as the best description of the way I envision the goverment. The only problem is, all that social spending means less war money...

Yeah, I haven't checked my defense but I have no doubt that I have more CP's. Actually I just checked flumes on NS and for the 1st time in about 4 months I'm not a Moralistic Democracy, changed to Iron Fist Consumerists. IDK that I've every had this before, as capitalist as I am, Usually its Moralistic Democracy and Inoffensive Centrist Democracy. If I could I'd take a major cut to healthcare, and put it in Education. I just can't tho... O well...
