I didnt hear about a livestream. Not sure I'd want to watch something like that.
They speak highly of you.
I'm thinking of bringing back slavery to keep with the ancient Egypt theme.

Same here, my economy even used to be AI planned. But then I decided to switch to a more religious route. Kind of like medieval Germany. The population enjoys quite a bit of freedom and simple lifes but also have to be subservient to church and state and of course the ruler by divine right. I see my disappearance rate as the equivalent of the Spanish Inquisition but in even more murderous combined with the thousands of people who burned as witches in medieval Germany. The capital I chose is a reference to that, Bamberg alone burned like 2000 for witchcraft.
That's the kind of tech that we enjoyed, albeit we tend to go for safer and more amenable to control.
Nonetheless we have a sizeable minority of the population that opt (willingly, we promise) to have highly heteromorphic bodyplans.
(Of course the majority use a enhanced human variant (according to our values) for our biological citizens plus the virtual spaces for our digital ones. They prefer to be operate drones in remote from their servers).
I see you hate tornadoes as well. They are such a major nuisance. Just last week, one of them managed to tear the roof of my FHS Hat Shrine clean off. Even with the youkai hat saint abilities that come with being the shrine master to FHSHS, it took me a full week to find and re-attach the thing. This will not affect the profits (shrine donations) well.
This is a form of media regulation and tells the media what they are allowed to say about any topic. It also forces them into a binary system of law-abiding that ends up corrupting the truth anyway: when a story doesn't have sides, they now create sides because of this law, and when a story has three or more sides, they stop at two because the law doesn't obligate them beyond that. What's been suggested here as media regulation is perfect evidence of how government involvement inherently creates an unnatural media and works counter-intuitively against itself. If a ruling body wishes to ensure fairness and a lack of bias while having a direct hand in the media, it would do better both by itself and by the media to have a competing outlet by means of the internet, public television, public radio, and its own print medium while leaving the privately owned publications to do as they please.
This is an exquisite suggestion. Regulating the media truly does nothing to keep a publication accountable to accuracy. Its subscriber numbers will do that, and a government manipulates those numbers through teaching the people how to be critical thinkers (or often how not to critically think in more corporatist systems). If the people are incapable of being lied to, a media outlet won't remain in business when it lies.
You make a good point, but some media and news stations twist the truth to fit their own beliefs and to spread their own beliefs. A perfect example of this BLM, the Capital riot, and the 2020 election, as well as Donald Trump's entire executive term. Many news stations twisted the truth about Trump to have people dislike him without knowing the full truth. Some also mislead the public so that the viewers believe in the media more than themselves.

I wonder what would happen if the media only presented the information without applying emotions and assuming things and presenting their theories on what the information at hand might imply. Just pure information. For example: When there is a statistic, only present the statistic and list on how the values were calculated and so on and so forth and let the people decide alone on what the information at hand might imply. Also they would have to present all the information available and not just certain parts.
But then again we do have a saying that goes "Don't trust a statistic that you didn't fake yourself."
Basically don't trust anyone but yourself.
Our glorious leader, Small Brother, needs an anathema. Does your corporation have an anathema device for sale?
How often do you guys dismiss issues?
It's a shame that the media is financially incentivized to create a climate of anxiety - the more anxious the populous is the more news they watch as to not miss any 'important' developments.

Which is strange, because slavery in Ancient Egypt was pretty light compared to other regions, especially Babylon, areas of Rome, and the not contemporary Aztecs.
I've been here since 2013 and I only learn this now?!?!?
Domais and Free market buisnesses
Doesn't that take away some of the fun?
I think it was the Greeks who thought that the Egyptians used slaves for everything, but from what I know modern archeologists think otherwise. Not that I know much about it though.
Same, but see above.
Delta Vega IV and Domais
Yes I'm aware, but I've been playing this game for that long now that I know the strategy in regards to issues. I occasionally check NSIssues, but for most of them I know what their effects will be.
On that note, I dunno if anyone here has ever had Issue 1202, called "A Timely Intervention". I hope people found it interesting...
