Nothing good awaits your country in such an aggressive region.

I'm also curious if it's actually possible to reach 100 out of 100 in the first three indicators of the "Analysis" – Civil Liberties, Economy, and Political Freedoms. Has anyone encountered such countries?

Nothing good for your country in such an aggressive region.

)) Yes, I've already been glad many times that in Heroes of Might and Magic, there's no possibility to attack a neighboring state.

It seems like someone actually had an economy of 100; I think I saw it on one of our players, maybe even on my main account, if I remember correctly. Update: Oh, no, I only had a maximum of 98 on my main.

Regarding the issue with the baskets:
good changes for me:
tax rate decreased by about 0.8
pacifism 10 -> 14
toxicity 27.513 -> 27.313
bad:
defense forces 22 -> 19
weaponization 19.861 -> 19.761
primitiveness -45 -> -39

Yes, Kosha, you are right, nothing particularly good :( 4 points of pacifism weren't worth -3 points of defense and +6 points of primitiveness.
Although, who knows, maybe other points were even worse.
This is the same issue in which Ples sent an assassin with a sniper rifle instead of the baskets.

Ventorum also started with baskets, and now look what he has become!

International Beauty Pageant

The beauty contest was already held at the spring festival, and I don't know any other way to run it besides voting for pictures.

the issue about the airport wasn't really that interesting. they could have responded differently.

Ventorum also started with baskets, and now look what he has become!

I'll take a look in the evening to see what happens if I send an assassin. It seems these Ishu are attacking my kingdoms in pairs. Another hopeless Ishu was dismissed.

Drunk Driving On The Rise

More and more, citizens are drinking before getting behind the wheel. A group of concerned citizens wants something done.
The Debate

Stan Christensen, head of Tarpaulin Fields's chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous, says that drunk drivers need help. "Alcoholism is a nasty thing, a disease. The government has to help these poor souls to avoid the temptations of liquor, and wine, and beer, and hard cider, and brandy, and?" His eyes get a glazed far off look, "Where was I? Oh right, we have to help these people, not imprison them."

"That's lovely," says Ruby Pinctada, a noted anti-alcohol advocate, "In a perfect world where rehab fixes everything. But this is the real world, and it doesn't bring back the victims. Drunk drivers kill people every day. If they take others' lives, the government must take theirs!"

"All of those plans attack the symptoms, not the disease," says Minister of Transportation Aaron Wong, "Alcohol is a curse, a poison sent by the Devil to tempt mankind. We cannot trust people to make decisions for themselves. The only answer is prohibition. Ban alcohol completely."

It seems these aren't written by drug addicts, but by the players themselves.

That's exactly what's happening.

And on my main account, I banned alcohol, and now everything is great there.

I bet drug consumption has also decreased at the same time?
And what about the black market? And the dynamics of deaths from poisoning by counterfeit vodka?

Well, I suddenly saw the copyrights after the issue.

I also became curious whether it's actually possible to reach 100 out of 100 in the first three indicators of the "Analysis" - Civil Liberties, Economy, and Political Freedoms. Has anyone encountered such countries?

++, for example.

I wonder if drug consumption has decreased as well?
And what about the black market? And the dynamics of deaths from poisoning by counterfeit vodka?

None of that exists. I don't have some kind of uncultured population in my country that would drink even technical alcohol just to get drunk; I have a highly civilized people.

++, for example.

Oh!
I looked at how the budget is spent. It's nice.
And this means there are no taxes? "Income tax is unheard of."

Civil Rights: Frightening
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Corrupted
