News: The counter-revolution will soon be as dead as the Q Society!

Poll

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.
6 (16.2%)

Heh, just dismissed the beautiful 'Where's The Love (Gone)?' issue...not because I wouldn't like Fergie... ;)

In RL I am a combination of multiples, probably reflecting the diverse nature of my homeland and as well of my spiritual and intellectual heritage. But, as I do not RP, I care less about the standings. From time to time I avoid taking decisions I would find fair IRL, in order not to affect business and development (I guess it's the emerging business-man in me  :D ), but I generally call the shots as I feel it would be right. Voted for no.3 as it is closest to how I do my issues.

Non really for me. Inglo-Scotia isn't suppose to represent my ideal society, it was meant as a combination of 1984, Cromwellian Britain, and V for Vendetta's Norsefire regime. So I choose my issues along those lines, all though it has little to no reflection on my own political and economic beliefs.
For the DSA I like to go as left wing and PC as I can. Why? Because, at least at the moment, the DSA is suppose to represent a country that's taken liberalism and the PC culture to the extreme (and I would consider myself a liberal, even if I won't vote for the current Liberal Party).

I fall in the second cathegory, mainly because NationStates seems to me a game where you create your utopic nation, and not follow any standards...the kind of nation you would like to live and, and of course you cannot find in this world.As a result, i have banned all Harry Potter books:))

Honestly, I don't.  I just go back to my nations' pages every week or so to keep them alive.  The whole nation issue thing gets really dull after a while.
