My College extended Spring Break by a few days and all classes are online, stay safe all!

Well, most of the stats existed back then. Even back then, the lists of nations would be ordered by a different stat every day. You just didn't get to see how you were doing in a stat aside from where on the list you fell on the day that stat was featured. I think the only stats you saw directly were population, average tax rate, and average income. Civil rights, economy, and political freedoms always had their descriptors like "Average", "Frightening", "Fair", "Excellent", etc., and the WA Categories, then called UN Categories, existed that far back as well. But those descriptors and categories had to be figured out by the players, and one may still have trouble figuring out how far away their economic freedom is from triggering a category change.

Stay safe indeed. To everyone: Exercise proper hygiene. Avoid large crowds if you can, especially if you think you or someone else there might be sick. Avoid direct contact if you reasonably can, especially if either of you might be sick. Wash your hands a lot. Try to avoid touching your face. Avoid unnecessary travel. Feel free to add whatever good advice I missed here. It will take all of us to keep ourselves and each other from getting sick.
