Having trouble with if statements. Please help!

So I am writing code for a simulator. It's been a few months since I've coded and I'm really rusty. I am trying to do an if / else if statement and when I run it and get to the part where I choose either "Military, Culture, or Science" and enter one option in the program just finishes and doesnt move on. Please help and tell me what I am doing wrong/how to fix it! Thanks!
