Yes = Buy
No = Short
This is a permanent market and its duration will be lengthened as long as it's allowed. The aim is to sell your stock (see top right after you've made a bet) when you believe your side has over-corrected and buy in/short it again once it's over-corrected to the other side. Essentially, it's meant to function like a traditional stock market.

@LarsDoucet But what is there to differentiate one country's stock from another? It seems like there isn't any actual underpinning of reality to any of these markets.
@CooperDaniels Mostly an experiment. Saw a bunch of people making these kind of markets around celebrities and figured I'd try it with countries. If it turns out to be a stupid idea with no point I'll resolve them all N/A. Testing the boundaries of what manifold is good for.
