"Is terrorism such a terrible thing? Really?" asks Randy Harishchandra, avant garde journalist, discreetly sliding a pipe bomb under your desk. "These people are simply expressing their political opinion the best way they know how. I think we should legalise terrorism as a legitimate form of political commentary. It'll certainly get people interested, don't you think?"

This is the most batshit tempting thing I've seen as an option ever.

A coup in a neighbouring country has seen a mercenary force led by retired Frenzy Pyreian general Erica Wall take charge of the peaceful backwater, purging the opposition, and suppressing freedoms. Despite the new leader making a dubious promise to hold elections, the government in exile is demanding that Frenzy Pyre takes action.

The Debate

1. "THIS IS A DISGRACE", bellows Brigadier General Rosalia de Castro, scattering plastic soldiers over the floor. "This traitor must be overthrown! Gather together our forces and sweep the tyrant from power. While we're at it, Frenzy Pyre could do with some more tanks - you never know when the next coup might be."


2. Imogen Cohen, a junior official, puts down "Diplomacy for Dummies" and pipes up. "The best method of solving problems is talking. Send the new regime a strongly worded letter of protest and encourage them to negotiate. On a similar note, perhaps you could take your spouse out for a meal tonight. You've been spending far too much time sorting out this nation's issues lately."


3. Noted realist and tabloid columnist Harry Khan disagrees. "We should give this new regime a chance. After all, they now control a sizeable economy, and they need weapons - we could offer to recognise the new government if they agreed to buy arms from us. Also, I couldn't help but notice some protesters outside your office. We wouldn't want a coup happening here - everyone would feel safer if they were moved on."


4."I don't see what the problem is", a voice strangely like your own whispers in your ear. Your twin, standing far too close for comfort, continues, "this has given me a great idea - why not just declare yourself supreme leader of Frenzy Pyre? After all, the people do love you so very much."

Option 4, does he want to kill me and replace me afterwards?

"Sending assassins to avenge you isn't enough!" argues hawkish talk-show host, Johann Levy. "The fact that Blackacre is this bold means we haven’t made them fear us yet - and a nation that isn’t feared isn’t respected. We need to do the only thing we CAN do: bomb their cities! Raise a revolution! Salt their fields! It may cost money, but our nation’s honor is priceless."
