Well, after playing for six months, I realized one thing: some parameters decrease not only due to the logical sequence of your choices, but also due to other factors. For example, taxes decreased, which reduced everything that depends on them: social security, healthcare, the army, etc. Today, I got -5 to DF, but taxes are already at 8.9% (and not long ago, it was 42%). A couple of nuclear warheads and submarines were decommissioned, apparently.
