We all know how exaggerated the results of our decisions can be on our game.  How important is it to you that your nation rate high on the standings categories (Civil Rights, Economy, and Political Freedoms)?  Do you play to win?  Or do you disregard that

I decide issues based strictly on what I think will raise my nation's standing.
0 (0%)
I decide issues based strictly on the way I'd run a real nation if I was in charge, regardless of its effect on my nation's standing.
15 (40.5%)
A combination of the above - I mainly decide based on what I'd really do, but not always, because the exaggerated results can hurt my nation's standing.
16 (43.2%)
Neither of the above - I like playing it as a real badass just for fun.

I'm in the habit of dismissing all my issues.

I picked number 4, not just because I am a bad ass total, but also because I answer my issues the opposite of how I would run an RL nation, and that was not an option.

I really should have made that fourth option more general - something to simply indicate role playing instead of specifying a badass.

It is the second one. I am a political hack and make my living in politics. I love watching how this game blows everything out or proportion and seems to be trying to have unintended consequences of every decision. In the real world I am firmly on the right- last time through the game I was as well- we'll see how it works out this time.

I choose options 4 not because Its how I play but because I don't do the other 3.

I try to choose on the grounds that I'm RPing my nation as a left wing country but one that has democracy (so I'll vote how I think my nation would).  Its a bit too center of the road for me (in what it decides) I'm to the left of my nations decisions slightly, (admittedly as stillwaters has said it does exaggerate the effects of your decisions slightly but then it is much speeded up and simplified so it would really)

2nd option.
I want Feniexia to be like in my thoughts, but there are not always the right issues for that and I did lots of junk with my nation at the beginning, mainly in the economical sector.

2nd, but I dismiss most of the issues because I don't agree with most of them.

2nd option for me. I'm mostly right-wing, so I base most of my choices on that.

as i said, dismissing is bad, because your country needs an answer, when you dismiss people stare at you "WTF? now what?"

Of course, some of the answers would also have your people saying "WTF".  ;)

Like the one for loudspeakers. 

Option #1:  Loudspeakers for emergency broadcasts, and also for political propaganda.
Option #2:  Pocket radios for emergency broadcasts, and also for advertisements.
Option #3:  Ban all advertising altogether, everywhere.

No good choice on that one, not for my nation.  We're against capitalism, but banning ALL ads is going too far and would hurt the economy.  And the propaganda would give far too much advantage to the politicians in power.  Dismiss.

i don't remember which i chose, but I've dismissed one just yesterday

Option#1: Ban cars (as far as i want it, can't afford that)
Option#2: Kick protesters out of the streets (never)
Option#3: Give funds to automobile industry (give money away to private sectors? If cars were free i would)

I usually answer according to what I would really do, with the exception being sometimes I need to inflate my defense budget for RP purposes :D Which, I hadn't really been doing, until when in the Lex, a few players seemed to get the idea that a high budget made them damn near invincible, so, I upped mine so I could at least hold my own against them, but i've never used that to claim invulnerability, or anything close to it.

In RL, I'm very much a libertarian the best government is the least government. This is belief is due not so much as to the way I would *like* things to be, but based upon the realities of life. In any event, when I answer things the way I'd want to, for some reason it tends to go a bit more to the left than what I would normally go.

Alot of the issues though, in fact, a good portion of them, are just plain stupid, those I dismiss. Or, i dismiss it if it's something that I dont think a national government should be bothered with having to do.
