Sorry for the confusion, although I understand that the policies page does not save my policies. Whenever I change my policies to anything and press "Update Policies", my policies on my nation's page will only stay as "Moderate".
Whenever I try to change my nations policies to anything, they will not change and will be kept as "Moderate". I am sure that all my options that I am choosing will mostly not fall under moderate. Please look into this and inform me if this is a bug or some sort of problem with my game. Thank you.
