Is NS still being worked on at all?
Eshla Pota, Aotoria
A little. Updates are slow, since the creator devotes more time to writing fiction novels than his text-based political game. Updates come at a slow pace and all everyone can do is be patient.

If you devoted some time to look on the forums, probably. I cant give you a straight answer because quite honestly I dont know.
I dont think anybody in Lands End has, but a few members within AA (Ridgefield, Conch Kingdom, Cape of Good Hope) have I think. Helaw has a bunch and is an issues editor, he/she resides in Ridgefield. Please dont telegram them, I dont think theyd appreciate it.
Also:
Hi everybody, Ive been away for a few weeks, since nothing is going on. Seems theres a lot of new folk here so let me introduce myself:

Also also: Please dont ever do that double text virus virus doubles doubles thing, its a bit spammy, apologies for any inconvenience.

What contributes to a high citizen rudeness?
Eshla Pota
Yeah, and some other stuff like racism and such
The Federation Of Spokane, Eshla Pota
Most of the time, but some answers to issues you would expect to increase rudeness can have the opposite effect. I purposely pursue citizen rudeness as one of my nation's prime characteristics and I'm constantly baffled by things that cause it to decrease. As an example, I just had an issue that forces all immigrants, including those already in my nation, to pass an ideological conformity test lest they be deported. My rudeness index fell by 5% after implementing it. Sometimes the results just don't make any sense whatsoever.
Eshla Pota
People believing in the same ideology would fight less over what ideology is better, I guess. Less fighting = less rudeness, maybe? That's my humble attempt at making some reason.
I pursue high religiousity, unsurprisingly, but putting legislation on alternative beliefs somehow decreases mine.
Eshla Pota
I find most religion related issues to be very half-assed. That, on top of them being quite rare, makes pursuing religiousness in general an absolute pain.

Hello, I'm creating a trade and military alliance called the Holy Operative Empire or H.O.E. The only thing you have to agree to is to accept me as your king and give me share leadership in your international affairs. You can still be a little bit again I am part leader. You are also given the opportunity to become a state in my empire, I will be creating a constitutional agreement for this alliance, and I hope I get applicant's. Thank you for reading

Is there an issue to abolish conscription? Also do championship points do anything?
There is an issue to do so, for example if you pick option 1 on issue #184 (compulsory military service under attack), it will get rid of the policy of compulsory military service.
Also, the championship points do not do anything aside from giving you a chance to be on the leaderboard if you have enough of them (as far as I know).
Phorbus
I don't understand how the issues affect your political freedoms and civil rights sometimes, I just allowed torture on some terrorists and outlawed breathing and somehow it just keeps rising.
How did you outlaw breathing?
Neu Deutschlandia
There is an issue that brings it up if your country is highly Authoritarian.
Also, hello. ☠️
Buryasia, Acceptance Is Just Madness, Neu Deutschlandia
The more I think about it the more I see you're right. Many issues such as science versus religion are isolated in the USA and cracking down on sects and cults can be seen as detrimental to religiousness in one sense of spirituality, but beneficial in another. My leader's seemingly random pursuit of WA badges, known as banners or achievements as I like to call them, nonwithstanding I would love my nation to be known for sprinkling holy water on state-of-the-art military equipment they sell.
Since I use nations other than Western states as inspiration for my nation(-state) I would try to appropinquate their lifestyle rather that one we're familiar with.
If anyone has any stories or anecdotes to tell about nations like Israel or Iran, past or present theocracies, telegram me.
Not quite sure how rare religious issues are, but regarding the distribution in general, it felt like there are a couple up to a dozen in about 100 issues.

apparently there's an idea bouncing around some political areas called universal basic income. I don't know if it's still actually relevant or if all the debates about it already died down by the time it reached me, but either way I'm curious on if you people could explain what it is exactly and what your thoughts on it are.
Basically its the idea that every citizen of a country should, no matter what, receive a set amount of money every week or month depending on the proposal. Personally I think it could potentially work as a replacement for welfare.
Replaces bureaucracy and surveillance tax money sinks. Which in itself can finance universal income in quite some countries in theory if they have administrator bloat, in itself that means ministries and government organs above become obsolete as well. To be safe, it's also often just a basic income for rent + food + some pocket money and some leisure activities, which is good for the countries own economy and most will flow back through taxes to the state. One thing that was observed is that food prices may increase and it results in a +/- equilibrium where people are fed and it basically is a circulation of money back and forth - or so I read somewhere but whatever.
Obviously there are points to criticise, but those points often aren't problems with the universal income. They're mostly side effects caused by how little is done by the state, for example building enough to guarantee living places - or they're outright blocking it, California seems notorious for that in the big cities there. It really depends on the countries, most English ones need to do a whole lot more to make it work without causing other problems as they let their countries run down into a shabby poor state extorting their citizens.
PS.: It should be noted that such proposals make sense if the right to acquire universal income is for natives or spouses of natives. Otherwise also if immigrants pay taxes, they might become eligible when they earned it, so that they may as well retire safely. Universal income is seen as a replacement for government pension / benefits systems in some countries.

The UBI is useless.
I mean you can just print money and give it to people, but what you can't print is resources. It's not really contributing that much other than raising inflation.
Lateness People
You cannot print physical money. There are protection systems and symbols on currency that prevent you from doing so.
