+/* Structure is as follows:
+ *  issue_type { (i.e. political_issues)
+ *  	issue_group{ (i.e. slavery)
+ *  		issue { (i.e. yes_slavery)
+ *  			...
+ *  		}
+ *  	}
+ *  }
+ * NOTE ON PARTY ISSUES
+ * Worth noting that party_issues is a special type of issue, of similar structure but used in a different way.
+ * Party issues can never have an "allow" condition and they are always unordered. Even if a mod decides to add
+ * them, OV2's behaviour should probably be to disregard them, as they are meaningless within the context.
+ * Conversely, lists of available reforms should make it a point to ignore the "party_issues" family.
