Arms Industry Demands Respect

Representatives of Tavono's arms manufacturing industry have expressed outrage over the lack of public and private support for their sector.

The government is preparing to dismiss this issue.

Every possible option for this issue is bad

If I destroy the arms manufacturing industry (which, by the way, is already destroyed and shouldn't even exist), my economy would drop dramatically but there would be no reduction on the already-zero gun use and I doubt I'd gain any pacifism points or anything.

If I accept their requests or go for any compromise, I'd immediately lose the gunlessness and pacifism I've worked toward :'(

The popular daily cartoon strip "Barry the Cat" has always been highly critical of the political system within Tavono, but in recent weeks the cartoon has depicted the main characters throwing melted cheese at unpopular politicians. Inspired by this, protestors armed with fondue sets stormed a government building, cheesing off several government officials.

"It's just a bit of harmless fun!", says Don Laine, creator of Barry the Cat, while spraying your advisors with melted cheddar. "If the government were doing a better job people wouldn't feel the need to throw cheese at them. We should be free to express our displeasure in any way we choose. Besides, my cartoon books are selling like hot cakes, and that's got to be good for the economy, right?"

"This has got to stop!" insists Sashona Christmas, head of the censorship board. "I spent 3 hours this morning scraping wensleydale out of my hair! Arrest these lunatics! The protestors and the people responsible for this vile cartoon, throw them all into jail!"


"Arrrrrgh!" screams lactose-intolerant Ali Gutenberg, a member of the public safety board, as incoming rounds of mature gouda smash the windows and claim the suits of several nearby advisors. "As I've been saying for many years now, cheese is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands and should be outlawed. Ban all cheese now, and enforce it!"

...throwing cheese at politicians?
Is this referencing some real cartoon I don't know about?

"This is great!" says General Fanny McAlpin. "These abandoned kids are just what the Frenzy Pyre Armed Forces need. Our current personnel level is pitiful. I doubt we could defend a supermarket! If we take these unwanted rug-rats, teach them the ways of warfare, we could be spittin' out super-soldiers in no time! Just imagine. Our military would be the envy of the world!"
