Taavet To Hold The Olympic Torch?

Enthusiastic sports fans have been petitioning the government all week to apply for the much-coveted honour of hosting the next Regional Olympics. While most citizens are excited at the prospect of a Boyahland-wide competition in their own country, some have expressed reservations about the enormous expense hosting would incur.

The Debate

"WAHAAAAY!" screams May Hamilton, captain of Taavet City's premier division ballroom dancing team. "Finally, a chance to show the world exactly how great I am! Everybody's always complaining that Taavet never does well in sports and you know why? It's because we're never in front of the home crowd, that's why! We're going to need a great big stadium! No! TWO stadiums! WHOOP! OL-YM-PICS! OL-YM-PICS!"


"Oh great," mutters Efthamia O'Bannon, spokesperson for the Angry Taxpayer Society. "That's all we need, more things to pour money into for no obvious reason. Surely it would be easier to just let another country host the Olympics and keep the cash? Then maybe it could go to something useful, like, I don't know... my wallet?"


"We'd be missing an amazing opportunity if we pass this up," says Zeke Droit, your Minister of Sports. "But we've got to be in it to win! Simply building new stadia won't be enough, we need to be funding new sports centres and hiring the best coaches for our entrants! You could put more money into public facilities too, like gyms or something. Then no one can accuse you of wasting everyone's tax Gelds, ha ha. Ha."


"There's nothing like a feat of strength to please the dull-witted masses, is there?" sighs Aaron Peters, flipping through 'One Hundred Gambits for Advanced Go Players'. "It's so boring. Why can't more intellectual pursuits be given the spotlight, like chess or debating matches? Ban organised sports and make our dreams come true! I think you'll find it comes at a far lower price than the populist Olympics ever will."


why can't there be one option where i make the other boyahland members pay for it???

I've been building arms and my economy is quite good. I'm sure a war wouldn't dent it.

I think nuclear missiles are a pretty good way to ruin your economy

Regardless, I am going with dueling... It is the more nomadic option. Rape cases should be entertaining

your economy is just above poverty territory and your government is wasteful beyond imagination

"A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Frenzy Pyre's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Astra."

blue is civil rights
red is economy
green is political freedoms 


both are approaching all time highs


It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.

Euthanasia is legal, refugees from other nations are flocking to Escundya's border, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and the government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician. Crime is totally unknown. Escundya's national animal is the Doodthing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pense.


my tax rate is up to 53% now
