I see! Thank you, and I understand the reasoning there, I imagine implementing a system preventing stat decay could also be rather difficult as well. I haven't gotten too far into the game so I'm not too sure how long the population has been stable or even if it is, but I would imagine there'd be programs oriented towards securing infrastructure and remodernizing the country, but that's just from my point of view.
I enjoy the game and hope it progresses well! Again, thank you for your response!
