I think a big problem Nationstates has is the extreme consequences from your decisions on issues.
Like, I just wanted to continue to allow plea-bargains in my court system. Not start a trend where innocent defendants will just plead guilty to get out of a harsher sentence. I didn't want the government start breaking up large business because I just wanted anti-trust laws to be respected, or that poorer towns be converted to nature reserves when instead I just wanted the one fucking town to be converted.
