Is there anyway to get literacy rate other than getting schools and universities? Also, what is literacy rate for anyways?

What I'm saying is that there's little reason for 100 nations to attack you unless if you're somewhat expecting it (also, it could be a waste of resources), so the percentage that an individual spy attack succeeds should be very low if you put your threat level to 1. However, there should be heavy penalties for putting your threat level lower.

I think the only way to balance spies is to make it so there is no limit on how many times a nation can get spied on a day. However, nations can only launch one spy attack a day. To balance this, the chances that a spying mission will be caught should increase exponentially at each threat level. For example, at threat level 5 (lowest), the chances of catching a spy is 100%. However at threat level 1, the chances of catching a spy should be 10000% or another acceptable value at threat level 1. This way, a nation is expecting a lot of spy attacks by say an entire alliance, he has proper defenses. However, putting your threat level at 1 should have greater repercussions. Most of the time, a nation will have a threat level of 5, and have few spy attacks.
