The Grand Duchy of Popsiclasia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 425 million are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The Kingdom of Frenzy Pyre is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate population of 413 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iron Fire City. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming.

The populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, billions of Astras are being blown on orbital weapons development, the nationalized auto industry is adept at making durable little cars nobody wants to drive, and citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frenzy Pyre's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Astra.

The Holy Empire of Escundya is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 411 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doodthopolis. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

psychotic dictatorship

Lara Jamieson, a noted anarchist, is appalled at the whole debate. "Relief fund? Giving money?! Now the government has to choose which social class to favor, and here's the big punch line, there is no right choice! We need to do away with the relief fund altogether, [glow=black,2,300]slash taxes[/glow] and leave the people and businesses to rebuild without government meddling. Yes, there will be some 'I don't have any money' sob stories. Boo-freaking-hoo. It's not the government's job to bail them out because they failed to prepare. "

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


oh thank god, somebody finally listened to my prayers of being able to slash taxes :'(

The Issue

During the last Jhut Bolokia Athletics Championship, a massive controversy arose following the revelation that double gold medalist Atlanta Johnson possesses both male and female sexual organs, despite being entirely female in external appearance.

The Debate

"How is this difficult to understand?" questions well-known sports commentator Falala Hernandez. "There are sports and competitions just for men, and there are sports and competitions just for women; we don't let men run in a women's race, so what's the difference here? And if it's too difficult to decide whether the athlete is a man or woman, then we shouldn't let them compete at all! Fair is fair is fair."


"I think I see a solution to all this," says Gregory James, your Minister for Solutions, whilst solving the crossword in your morning newspaper. "We should overhaul the entire sport system in Jhut Bolokia so that people compete against each other based on skill, not gender. Sure, it might be expensive but it'd be worth it if we want everyone to be happy."


"We can't just stop there!" protests well-known LGBTQQIA activist Sarah Hamilton. "We should completely overhaul Jhut Bolokia itself to make it less hostile to those like Ms. Johnson! Schools, hospitals, workplaces â€" they'll all need to be changed! There should be public toilets catered solely for the intersex too! You can't put a price on equality!"


"You're not actually going to listen to that parasite, I hope?" your bald, heavily tattooed cousin says with a raised eyebrow. "You want to actually give these monsters recognition? Not only are they going to make us the laughing stock of the international community, but they, and other freaks like them, are an insult to our race. What we must do is banish such scum from Jhut Bolokia; their lesser blood and DNA are only an impediment to the success and dominance of our race â€" a master race!"

That's what I was thinking

Or they would have to compete in a men's league and almost by default they wouldn't make the cut
