NEWS: Testing has begun for a series of new national statistics which will provide a more detailed picture of the impact of national laws and policies.

The new measures, currently in beta, include data on incarceration rates, attractiveness, most overworked, respect for elders, household size, superstition and discrimination. 

Full calculation methods have not yet been released, but each draws on existing policy data and issue responses.

Links to the betas are available on the forums, enabling everyone to test where any nation lands on each statistic.  You can access the links to the beta for each statistic below:

Incarcertaion Rate
Most Attractive
Most Overworked
Respect for Elders
Household Size
Most Superstitious
Most Discriminatory

The beta phase is intended to test how the new variables interact with existing data before any final rollout. Developers have invited players to share feedback to help identify anomalies and balance scaling.

No timeline has been announced for full release.  Once finalised, The NationStates Times will provide an update to our readers.
