Code Fixes

Some people will occasionally notice that no matter how hard they try they just can't get their economic freedoms to go up, or they can't get their nation to change category, or whatever. Well, I think I may have your salvation, though I wouldn't bet on it.

Over the years, some issues code has slipped in that was faulty and some that has now become defunct. The problem was that these bits of code would get stuck in a nation and then stay there with no way for the player to get rid of it. To put it simply: if your nation got a faulty bit of code that, say, lowered economic freedom, then you'd never be able to raise your freedoms much afterwards. You'd be able to raise them somewhat, but that bit of code would still be dragging them downwards.

But no longer! I compiled a list of the code and handed it over to Pythagosaurus who has done some magic and created an automated system for dispelling the code. When a nation logs in, all the faulty code will be wiped (if present). Eventually, NationStates should be free of all of it and that will be cause for celebration.

A side-effect of the purge is that many nations, particularly older ones, may see their freedoms suddenly spring up or plunge. Don't worry! It's all part of the healing process. After this, your nation will be untarnished and you'll be able to mould your nations to a much more successful degree.

Many thanks goes to Pythagosaurus for making this possible!
