Let's start with how my trend lines move from yesterday's legislative decisions:

Civil Rights: 83/100 "World Benchmark" Civil Rights are up +2 points from yesterday, which is a good thing. It likely has to do with the decision to let people exercise their freedom of speech, and the right of citizens to choose whether or not they vote. Good progress here.

Economy: 75/100 "Very Strong" Economy hasn't really changed at all, there weren't policies that really affected this one way or the other yesterday. 

Political Freedoms: 52/100 "Average" This was a big jump for the political freedoms of the people of Ancapanda, a +29 rating movement. The freedom to choose whether or not to vote, as well as the right to Freedom of Speech had a huge affect on this trend, as anticipated in the Day 1 journal. 

Other things that changed:

Ancapanda has gone from being a "Benevolent Dictatorship" to "Capitalizt" as far as the classification goes. The change likely comes from the huge jump in political freedoms. On the NationStates Wikia, the new classification of Ancapanda is as follows: "a society where the corporations rival the government in power."

I am intensely proud of this classification. You might be thinking "oh, no! those greedy corporations are so strong!" Well, yes, but not in the way you're thinking. 

The corporations  in Ancapanda rival the Government in power because the government actually has so little power. The businesses of my country aren't out starting wars and extorting the citizens through taxation, its the opposite. Rather, the Government of Ancapanda doesn't have as much power to tell the citizens what to do. Essentially, the people of Ancapanda have a direct line to the success of their nation by what's called "Voting with your feet." You choose what kind of Ice Cream you want through business. If you don't want vanilla, you don't have to eat vanilla (or even Ice cream at all if you don't want), as opposed to a governmental system where 51% of the people vote for vanilla, and the chocolate lovers be damned. 

Day 1's legislation has brought about a lot of change for the good. 

Let's get to the issues. 

1. Should Organ Donors Be able to Sell their Body Parts? I had two options here: allow donors to sell body parts and organs to hospitals for a price, or not allow such a seemingly heinous act to be committed in Ancapanda. I chose to support the sale of organs to hospitals. Basically, if you have a kidney, and the Hospital has to wait on people to die before they take the organs, or wait for random donations (kidneys are harder to get than blood, I personally think), it would make sense that someone who needs money would be able to voluntarily sell their extra kidney (most healthy people only need one) for a price. This gives the hospital a healthy kidney, and gives people more control over their own bodies, as well as an ability to sell a very valuable asset. Of course, other Organs like a heart can still be sold, with benefits to be paid for the family or to be received in advance before the donor dies. I predict this decision will increase the Economy, as well as Civil Rights. Also, this choice might decrease Heart Disease deaths, as well as strides in cancer research. This Free Market policy as well as the freedom to pursue Cloning research (Day 1 Decision), are a good combo for the health of Ancapanda. Decision: Support Free Organ Sales as an extension of Property Rights.

2. Nudists Demand Time in the Sun. For this issue, there are three options: 1. Let people walk naked, even in public if they want to. 2. Force everyone to be nude, even if they don't want to. Or 3. Only allow nudity in the privacy of one's home. I played around with option #3, because I wouldn't want to see someone like Horton the Elephant walking down the street naked. #2 is out of the question, I don't believe in the use of force in such matters (since its not an act of self-defense). However, seeing the Horton person on the street, it is still disgusting with or without clothes. I choose option #1. Nudity is a cultural stigma or taboo. It should be up to the individual to decide what they should wear, not the government. Besides, regardless what the simulator says, the market would decide how much nudity is acceptable. Do you really think a big time stock-broker will be walking down the street naked? Some people want to do it, fine. As long as they don't go around invading people's personal bubble. You want to be naked? Fine, but mind your own business while doing it. This will probably increase the Civil Rights trend. Decision: Support the right of individuals to be nude in public as an extension of Freedom of Speech. 

Until tomorrow, See Ya!
