"We happen to express our love differently, with different hobbies and activities," explains BDSM enthusiast George W. Hendrikson, while wearing needle-sharp spiked heels and holding a whip. "Shops exist to cater to the needs of 'normal' people, but do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get a quality whip? A little support for our hobbies would be appreciated!"

My economy picked up even more. I'm up to 60 on the trend

[Snowy]

My economy was at 74 this morning when I checked.

But my GDP is still awful.

A group of holidaymakers from Gondwannaland have been arrested while visiting the scenic, yet corrupt and totalitarian, nation of Maxtopia on charges of drug trafficking - an offence which carries the maximum sentence of the death penalty. The story has provoked outrage from citizens, many believing the government should intervene to bring the tourists back home.

Snowy is this you!? 
Let my people go!

I will tear you to pieces, death will descent upon you land, and slaughter shall be found there.

Also what the fuck, why didn't it give me an option to make all drugs legal in my country. :'(

[don't let's]

"Yo, dude, I've got a better idea," says Roxanne Zhu while executing a complicated 360° spin over your head. "What if skateboarding was the only way to get around? Wouldn't that be cool? Skateboarding is cheap, healthy, and fun! Everyone should do it! You could improve, like, the quality of life for everyone by banning vehicles and making skateboarding the only legal way to travel. People'd love you for it, man. Well, apart from the guys who make cars and the like, I guess."

I was really tempted to chose this option just to see what would happen.

An old supporter of yours has recently passed on, leaving a quite sizeable plot of land to you in his will - but only under a rather unusual condition: that the site be developed into a colosseum for hosting gladiatorial fights and other bloody spectacles.

OH MY GOD WHAT

"Yes, yes!" cries William Harishchandra, waving a wooden sword enthusiastically. "You've gotta do this, man! Gladiator fights are like the ultimate in spectator sports! And it doesn't just have to be people! We could pit man against stegosaurus! Blade against claw! Nothing to their names but their wits and their stamina! You'd have to pay people a lot to risk their lives doing this but I bet you'd earn a whole lot more from merchandise and wagers and stuff!"

MAN AGAINST STEGOSAURUS

I had no drug laws when I created my nation. I also legalized recreational drugs with an issue that was over people getting high at work.

After a sixty year old man with psoriasis streaked past cameras and millions of sports fans during the snooker league playoffs, protesters have called for tougher action.

"This can't go on!" says traumatized snooker player Buffy Mistletoe, "Children are watching sports and having them exposed to this lewd behaviour is unacceptable! I demand that these people be locked up for several years and maybe they'll have learnt their lesson!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

Ew, nudity

I am Asabon, but I will never let your people go.

i done fucked up

my civil rights are back to average

[Socks]

my economic policies are a model for all of Boyahland.

[Snowy]

i done fucked up

my civil rights are back to average

I think my Civil Rights are on the higher end, but I know for a fact that Political Freedoms are outlawed.

[YPrrrr]

Huh, my civil rights still dropped after dismissing an issue regarding a strike

That issue sucked, it was either going to kill my civil rights or economy and it made no sense because my car industry is nationalized anyway

The Issue

Scientists have announced they are close to a breakthrough in their quest to revive the feather-bellied Cougar, a species related to Taavet's national animal that has been extinct for more than a century.

The Debate

"I, for one, applaud their work," says scientist Chloe Wu. "And not just because I'm the project leader. This is an example of how Taavet's brains can mix it with the world's best. Can you imagine how wonderful it will be to have feather-bellied Cougars frolicking in the meadows again? I say full steam ahead, and more government funding!"


"This is a sacrilege!", says religious leader Gregory Wong. "These animals are extinct because God wants them dead. Cloning them would merely incur his wrath! If we proceed down this path, it'll be humans, not the feather-bellied Cougar, who will be extinct."


"Now, come on," says William Trax, well-known philosopher. "You don't need to be religious to be unnerved by the top of this particular slippery slope. Today it's Cougars, tomorrow it's dinosaurs, and we all know how that turns out. This research shouldn't be banned, but there must be strict government controls over its use."

The Government Position

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.


feather-bellied cougars?
