From Plague Inc. Wiki
The special plague type of Neurax Worm presents symptoms that help control the brain of those infected. In countries with large numbers of infected people, as different symptoms evolve, the disease can alter the sense of society by causing them to do maniacal or dangerous things that will help to deteriorate public order in that country.
List of Actions
Actions caused by the Disease Symptoms
Much of the symptoms of the Neurax Worm have some effect on the way the infected behave, the player can use these traits to cause chaos in countries where there is a large percentage of people infected by the Neura Worm.These actions usually cause the public order to be partially reduced in the country, and in some cases may even increase infectivity or cause certain deaths due to the legalization of certain things such as fights and death races.
Cognitive Scrambling
The Cognitive Scrambling symptom provokes a series of governmental actions, whose effects are mainly to reduce public order, consisting in the fact that the government of a country starts to go out of control and begins to decree a lot of nonsense laws, such as banning laughing or declaring that every day is Christmas.

The player will win the game if all countries have executed this action.
