There are of course  reports [pdf] that discuss important stuff with more than a number. That German report e.g. does contain:

• ressource conservation
  
• climate change
  
• renewable energies
  
• area usage
  
• state debt
  
• economic future provision
  
• innovation
  
• education
  
• economic wealth
  
• mobility
  
• farming
  
• air quality
  
• health and nutrition
  
• criminality
  
• employment
  
• perspectives for families
  
• equality of men and women
  
• integration of immigrants
  
• development aid
  
• open markets

Similar reports probably exists for Ireland. But who reads 80 pages, when he can have a number?
