For flags, if you're feeling creative, http://chaoticshiny.com/flaggen.php this tells you some ideas and then you can draw one, Like I did for mine
Or if you're feeling lazy, go here http://flag-designer.appspot.com/ and make your own or click random until you see something you like. Then save it to your computer and then click "[SVG to raster image (JPG/PNG/TIFF) conversion]" and upload it there (since Nationstates doesn't take SVG files).

"The Holy Empire of Escundya is a fledgling, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass -- is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much 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.
Crime is well under control. Escundya's national animal is the Doodthing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pense."

So far I am not entirely sure on it
from the faq
[spoiler]One way to succeed, at least in a sense, is to make it onto the top rungs of a World Assembly report. These are compiled once per day, one for each Region and one for the entire world. Nations are ranked on anything from economic strength to the most liberal public nudity laws (the WA has a lot of time to fill in). There's a certain glory in making it onto one of those.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Once or twice a day, you'll face an issue, and need to decide what to do about it. How you respond will determine almost everything about how your nation evolves.
[/spoiler]
also
[spoiler]The World Assembly is the world's governing body. It's your chance to mold the world to your vision, by voting for resolutions you like and scuttling the rest. However, it's a double-edged sword, because your nation will be affected by any resolutions that pass. (Unfortunately you can't obey the resolutions you like and ignore the rest, like real nations.) In other words, it's a hot-bed of political intrigue and double-dealing.
[/spoiler]
we can elect people to represent us in the wa I think and I have personally joined it though it takes like 24 hours to get an invite or denial
so we'll see how that goes

“If you Love me I will Kill you.”
Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent

Political Freedoms: Some
Regional Influence: Minnow
Location: The North Pacific
Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Federal Republic of Gondwannaland is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology.
Crime is a problem. Gondwannaland's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the KarlMarx.

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Nomadic Peoples of Jhut Bolokia is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Furniture Restoration industry.
Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jhut Bolokia's national animal is the Sand Dollar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Sand Dollar.

What the hell Boyah!? How come inside I feel strongly that if anyone starts talking garbage we need to smack em and go back to the good old days of having a decent conversation. And yet, here, with my people before me, totally at my dominion, I refuse to allow such a policy, I opted on the side of more freedom. I don't know why, I do not agree with it, in my gut, but, at that moment, in those circumstances, making a decision for the entire mas of humanity under my authority, I was compelled to vote for expression, as the only responsible and right thing to do. I was actually concerned of giving my artificial minions too little liberty.
Wow. I can totally see how policy makers always make their decisions that from our perspectives we can't understand. It is like a leg complaining that you are walking too much, when it knows nothing beyond that.

"Frankly, I'm appalled that the government can even consider allowing this travesty to go ahead," says prominent Jewish personality Alexander Falopian. "We can't let these animals broadcast their message of hate. Surely NotSid is too civilized for that."
"It's exactly because we're civilized that we must let the demonstration proceed," says free speech campaigner Falala Skeleton. "We may not like what they have to say, but in this society, people have the right to argue whatever political view they want, no matter how hateful, selfish, or stupid it is."
falala skeleton has an interesting name. i want to side with him but his view is way too tolerant, but jewface is a jew and i don't want to help him either because then i would beomce liberal pussy state or whatever.
this makes me mad i just want to kill the,.
Compulsory Organ Harvesting,.. aw yeah :|
In the end though you have to er on the side of freedom, and that means Jew face can stand there and eat it, just like when we watch the 9 billion movies made by Jews yearly--far more intrusive, subversive and effective than a one time crazy rally down a city center. But porch monkies sit and stare, and form opinions from the show presented there, even if they don't know it.

QuoteIn a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Tavono's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Cats could be added to the menu.
"The fact is, the Cat population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Emily Broadside. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Cat kebabs, Cat pies, Cat-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
"I agree that something needs to be done about Cat over-population," says random passer-by May Christensen, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."

Everyone would feel a lot better about opening their wallets if they had a say as to where the money went. I think you'd see a lot more public money going to education and a lot less to business."

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."

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.

"They're mostly thieves and drug addicts, they make the streets a dangerous place for our children, they make honest people feel guilty for turfing them off their doorsteps and, frankly, they smell bad.

The Nomadic Peoples of Jhut Bolokia is a small, genial nation, renowned for its enforced nudity. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 20 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jhut Bolokia's national animal is the Sand Dollar, and its currency is the Sand Dollar.

4. "Duuude, marriage is like totally outdated", says a hippie, wearing a multi-colored robe and in need of a wash. "They're like, restrictive and they bring down the vibe, man. Why put people in a box; let us roam free and we can all be brothers and sisters! It's what's nature wanted!"

I only let kids gamble because I thought a nation without any gambling is worse than one who allows kids to gamble.
"This 'slippery slope' argument has got me thinking," says Police Minister Thomas Khan. "You know, it would be a lot easier to fight crime if we watched people all the time. Not with cameras, of course. That's clearly an invasion of privacy. But how about a national database of our citizens, coupled with compulsory ID cards and barcoding? It would stop crime dead in its tracks."

"The Nomadic Peoples of Chattieria is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 29 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The small, liberal government concentrates mainly on Public Transport, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 13%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining industries.
The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, cars are banned, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Chattieria's national animal is the Bat, and its currency is the AAA."

The Grand Duchy of Popsiclasia is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 26 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Gambling industries.
Citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, criminals are executed and their property seized, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Popsiclasia's national animal is the stegosaurus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the cherry shekel.
"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.

1 minute ago: Following new legislation in Escundya, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent.
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.

"It's not the AMOUNT of tax, it's where the burden falls," says student activist Faith Suzuki. "And at the moment, far too much of the burden is falling on the poor. People on high incomes still have more money than people on low incomes. I don't think I need to say anything more than that."

QuoteA group of concerned parishioners and soccer moms has petitioned the government of Tavono to outlaw heavy metal music, which they fear is a bad influence on youngsters.
"Whoa, man... what's with the, like, censorship and stuff?" asks Xu du Pont, scruffy-haired bassist of the popular speed metal band The Destroyinators. "You can't, like, censor the music, man. That's how we express ourselves! Every bass beat is me baring my soul! Every howl is me complainin' about how my parents tried to kick me out of their basement! Besides, what's wrong with Satan? He's just misunderstood anyway. I say promote the arts, man!"

QuoteThe Issue
The commercial release of the controversial children's book 'Heather Has Two Mommies' in Asabon has sparked debate over laws concerning the adoption of children by homosexual couples.
The Debate
"I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone could possibly be against this," complains Jacob Kantelberg, showing up at your office wearing a pink feather boa. "Bart and I are good and caring people and will make excellent fathers, so what's the problem? All of the scientific studies have shown that there's no difference in the wellbeing of children raised by gay and straight couples. All that's holding these little darlings back from the happy family life that they deserve is the outdated prejudices of some prudes. All we want is to adopt a child to call our own. It'll be fabulous!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
A loose coalition of political activists running the gamut of the political spectrum has started a petition to add 'None of the Above' as an option on every ballot, so that a voter can reject all candidates if he feels none of them represent a viable option. If 'None of the Above' wins the election, a new election with all-new candidates would have to be held.

Of course, Cougars raised in captivity don't generally survive in the wild, but I'm sure we can find a way!"

The Issue
Taavet's industries have an ever-growing amount of toxic wastes to dispose of, and doing so in safe ways is becoming prohibitively expensive, leading a group of lobbyists to try and pressure the government into changing existing disposal laws.
The Debate
"These waste dumping laws are destroying our businesses!" rants Roxanne de Vries, head of the Taavet Bigger Business Bureau. "We need cheaper ways to eliminate industrial by-products, which really aren't as harmful as people think, such as pouring them into rivers or deep ocean ravines where they're harmless to us. Let's remember that the products we manufacture make your life easier and more fun!"
"A better way to deal with this problem is to convince the public it isn't a problem at all," whispers Anne-Marie Neumann, head of Scamcorp, an industrial think tank. "Fudge some research, declare that the chemical by-products from industrial processing and production actually make one's teeth and bones healthier. Then, sell them to municipalities to add to their drinking water! Yes! This will not only save us the trouble of disposing of the waste correctly, we'll be able to sell it at a profit! I can taste the money already!"
"These corrupt, money-hungry corporations are only looking out for themselves and their bottom line!" says Marleen Spirit, an environmentalist from northern Taavet. "The government needs to enact stricter laws for how these companies can dump their waste safely, and when they poison Taavet's people and environment, the government needs the authority and manpower to enforce harsh penalties! These companies make their messes, they should pay to clean them up!"
The Government Position

the most recent issue i got was about reporters finding out about thymia's politicians using gold-plated toilets and eating expensive food and stuff like that, so the options were to either make all politicians poor or outlaw journalism
i outlawed journalism
Oh hey I just told the newspapers if they can't make enough money to support themselves then they better go the way of the milkman n_u
Quote"The fact is, the penguin population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Anne-Marie Frederickson. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have penguin kebabs, penguin pies, penguin-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."

QuoteThe Issue
Members of a new weird religious cult, called the Order of Violet, ask for the government to appease their mighty god by offering Her a sacrifice of the human variety.
The Debate
"What have we got to lose?" says religious freedoms advocate Margaret Pushkin. "Just cut up a few homeless folk - it appeases this group's bloodthirsty Goddess, gets rid of unsightly bums that drain welfare, and everybody goes home happy."
"We must go much further than a few beggars!" argues the overzealous High Member of the Order of Violet, Marleen Johnson. "You must pass a law that everyone's first born child must be slaughtered, on live TV if possible. Think of the viewing figures!"
"You aren't going to listen to these whackjob Violetists, are you?" comments Erica Silk while leading a prayer group. "Human sacrifices! Surely we're too civilized to permit such barbaric practices! These lunatic fringe groups should be outlawed, and their leaders should be executed!"
"Who's being a lunatic?" retorts Megan Summers of the Grantarctica Humanitarian Society. "I agree that these practices ought to be outlawed, but instead of sinking to the same level of these fanatics and killing our fellow people, why not simply start a re-education program? Even the worst person can be rehabilitated into a useful member of society, with enough time, care, and lots and lots of funding!"

"What are these lunatics on about?!" yells Gretel Yeats, a concerned parent. "Smacking children has been an effective form of punishment since the dawn of mankind! Outlaw it and I guarantee you the next generation will be a disorderly disaster! Children need, nay CRAVE discipline!

"Do we really have to listen to these nutcases?" asks real estate developer, Jonathon Cogswell. "The fact of the matter is that nature is BORING. Give us permission to build on the greenbelt and you'll have pink hotels, boutiques, and swinging hot spots that'll be the envy of the region and draw tourists from all around! We can always transplant a few trees and put them in a tree museum to keep the tree-huggers happy. Jhut Bolokia stands to make a lot of money from this! Think about it for a moment!"
"I agree with my colleague here, but he doesn't go far enough," says Margaret Smith, a city planner. "These protestors are standing in the path of progress. It slows the growth of our economy and harms my portfolio - er - the future of our nation, I mean. It's unpatriotic and we should increase police funding to deal with these troublemakers. Then we wouldn't have to worry about greenbelts or any other nonsense about keeping the 'environment' safe. Think about it for a moment!"
"I can't believe what I'm hearing!" exclaims environmental activist Marleen Hamilton. "Tree museums? Police funding? Don't it always seem to be the case that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? We're talking about natural treasures and you're talking about destroying them. Is there anything that you can build that can really be better than nature? We should put a stop to all encroachment into natural areas. Think about it for a moment!"

Quote"This is just another attempt to discriminate against people of color," declares civil-rights activist, former TV commentator and unabashed publicity speaker Bianca Trax. "If people are disadvantaged in their upbringing then they should be given an 'equal' chance to succeed in college."
well, yeah, sure...
Quote"The affirmative action programs aren't necessary at all," rejoins conservative speaker and hair care product salesman Ruby O. "If you really want to treat everyone equally, as you claim, how can you support special treatment for a few so-called minority groups? Besides, it would cost even more money to enforce."
that kinda makes sense as well but that's not exactly what i'm looking for...
Quote
"I think you are both looney," says Colleen McAlpin, professor of liberal arts at Thymia National University. "All education should be open to everyone regardless of their grades in high school, economic status or academic prowess.

i had an issue with
six options today
QuoteAll of Thymia has been in an uproar since yesterday when a car exploded in the middle of Thymia City, killing dozens and injuring hundreds. This terrorist act was traced back to a violent minority group known as the Lilliputian Freedom Fighters. A group allegedly supported by an unfriendly regime, despising Thymia for its heathenish ways and political bent, but more particularly for supporting the recent occupation of their homeland by an ally.
i picked this option
Quote
"No, that's what those terrorists want us to do!" speculates chairman Miranda Khan of the Patriots' Tea and Biscuits Club. "We don't want to give the Agency any more responsibility, they're the ones who messed up in the first place. What we need is to purge Thymia of these rats who don't respect the laws and traditions of our way of life. We know who they are and where they come from, so the solution is obvious: we just won't let those sorts of people cross our borders and kick out those who are already here. It might seem a bit harsh, but hey, we were here first. Long live Thymia!"

QuoteThe Holy Empire of Asabon is a large, economically powerful nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-working, cynical population of 62 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.
Eminent domain has been abolished, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, abortions are routinely performed in Asabon's hospitals, and the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque. Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Asabon's national animal is the Ocelot, and its currency is the Gald.

The Kingdom of Frenzy Pyre is a large, devout nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate population of 74 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Commerce, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Trout Farming.
Teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, and property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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.

"That's rubbish," objects May Hernandez, your Minister of Finance. "Why waste hundreds of thousands of Gelds in bringing those expatriated citizens back to Taavet? They chose to leave our great country; they are no longer our concern! They could have stayed here and been an asset to our workforce! Helped us grow strong! No, they've had their chance. You reap what you sow. We should cut any financial assistance we give to those traitors."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

"There is another way, you know..." whispers Naki Longbottom, the Chief of Secret Projects and Shiny Things in Frenzy Pyre's military research department. "What if we started taking children and raising them from birth to fight? We'd be able to make them completely immune to propaganda, psychological warfare, and demoralisation. Not only would that stop the crying new recruits, it'd also give us a powerful military edge. People may not like giving up their kids, but that's why we run the country. We know better."
Here's hoping for a spartan project

Quote"Malaria is a highly dangerous disease with no cure," says Dr Hillary Picture, one of the world's leading epidemiologists. "If we're going to control it then we've got to put money into researching a vaccine and new antimalarial drugs. We should also set out to provide prevention and awareness programmes, the whole caboodle. With a targeted and well-financed approach we can make an attempt to eradicate malaria from the face of Tavono! But we're going to need cat pictures. Lots of them."

Raise a revolution! Salt their fields! It may cost money, but our nation’s honor is priceless."

The Issue
An organized crowd of leather-clad individuals, some of whom are on leashes, are protesting against discrimination for those who share their interests.
The Debate
"We happen to express our love differently, with different hobbies and activities," explains BDSM enthusiast Lara Yeats, 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!"
"Yeah," exclaims Imogen de Castro, another enthusiast, wearing nothing but a collar, "and like other couples, we want the right to display our affection in public. If Master wants to take me walkies in public, he should be able to."
Margaret Singh dissents wholeheartedly. "This is not about showing affection--this is about moral decency. Think of the children, for God's sake! Think of the children! We must criminalize and eliminate this perversion to keep them safe. Which of course means a special task force to track down and capture these cretins!"

Either is correct. I prefer "dammit" by a slim margin. But I'm also the kind of person who says "I dunno."
Don't form some halfway bastardization like "damnit" though. The normal rules of English (hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHA OH GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT) would have the N be pronounced in that case (as in "damnation" or "autumnal") which just sounds silly.

The issue and its other choices are:
QuoteSeveral musicians have recently produced songs in which "Violet" sings silly and offensive things, causing outcries of horror from the Order of Violet.
1. "THIS IS BLASPHEMY!" shouts Sophie Plath, Grand High Poobah of the Order of Violet. "Our holy scriptures specifically forbid any portrayal of our prophet's most holy voice. We cannot permit people to slander and mock our prophet and insult all of us. These people are simply doing this to see if we are extremists. Death to the blasphemers!"
2. Speaking anonymously and from hiding, one of the musicians says, "It was just meant to be a joke! I never thought that they'd take it so seriously. I just wanted to give them a little ribbing like I do the other major religions of Pastafarianism and Frisbeetarianism." Renee Bronte glances over their shoulder to see if anyone is watching, "Please don't try to figure out who I am. I'm scared for my safety. The government should protect my freedom to insult whomever I want. Freedom of speech should hold nothing sacred, not even God."
3. "Freedom of speech is important, but so is freedom of religion. Surely we can strike some sort of balance?" says Kathleen Goethe, chief spokesperson for the TSOC (the Tavono Society of Compromisers). "Freedom of speech comes with a responsibility. People must avoid anything that insults another's religion, and if they aren't willing to do it themselves, the government must enforce it."
4. "His Holiness, the Grand High Poobah of Violet, has the right idea, but the wrong religion," says Natalia Zhimo, the Prelate of Primary Public Relations for the fanatical organization Tavono's Concerned Citizens for Our God. "This nation needs an official religion, and not support the Godless heathens who worship the idolotrous Violet. Appoint me as your spiritual adviser an I'll ensure that all people worship God in the correct way."

Their whole life is devoted to pleasing me, to earn a spot on my land. If they do not believe in ME they do not believe in my country, and you shouldn't live in a place you don't believe in.
I am the divine light guiding my people to prosperity and happiness and any path that is not walked by me is a path to misery and destruction.

QuoteDuring the construction of a new Hyper-Mega-Ultra-Super Mall, construction workers have unearthed what appears to be an ancient temple. A furious debate has arisen between those who wish to preserve it, and those who need their retail therapy.
"This is the perfect opportunity to learn more of our nation's history!" says Professor Agnes Wu, head of the archaeological department of the Asabon History Museum. "All building work must be halted immediately so that my team can study this remarkable piece of our nation's past. To bury these ruins under some concrete eyesore would be criminal!"
"It's all very nice to get to know some more about our past," argues foreman Buffy Rikkard. "But that's just the thing! It's the past! We must think of the future. If you allow those decrepit fossils to take over this place, you put at risk the future of our economy! Today it's archaeological digs, tomorrow it's 'preservation of the environment'. Just let me bulldoze the worthless pile of rubble and bury it under a few hundred tonnes of concrete."
"Behold, the hour has arrived! The Holy Temple of Firefury Amahira has been unearthed!" proclaims Yon-Zhauryg v'Klot, leader of the Cult of the Undead Ocelot. "This land is sacred, and must not be befouled by these corporations! No-one but the enlightened children of Firefury must be allowed to venture inside our rediscovered sanctuary, where we will perform the required rituals to please the Great Goddess and prevent Her from unleashing Her wrath upon the world."

Then we can tell them whatever we like! After all, we're much more trustworthy than some profit-driven media moguls, right? At least we won't have to issue ANOTHER public statement to tell everyone you're not a hyper-intelligent aubergine."

"This has got me thinkin'," says General Marleen Neumann, thumbing through a big folder marked 'X'. "If this technology lets us reduce genetic defects, then couldn't it work the other way? We could create ourselves an army of genetically superior soldiers! With our army of Super Soldiers, no nation would dare stand in our way!"

Conscription is wrong and I don't see why our tax Penses should go to such a despicable cause! The money should be going to more important places - like our pockets!"

The Issue
An anonymous society of 'cinematic aficionados' have brought the debate over the proposed disposal of the watershed, the hour after which adult material is allowed to be shown on television, to your attention.
The Debate
1. "We don't need a watershed!" scoffs 'romantic-movie' buff, Rochelle du Pont. "I don't see why I should wait 'til way past midnight to watch my preferred film genre. It's high time that parents stopped treating their children like... well, children! If you sugar-coat these kids' lives, they'll just end up seeing everything through rose-tinted glasses - and we can't have a country filled with spoilt brats now, can we?"
2. "This is an endorsement of bad taste if ever I saw it," says Lara Sparkle, a child-care worker. "It's just wrong to subject children to graphic violence and nudity on afternoon television like this: who knows what it might possess them to do? We've all heard stories of kids who have seen some film where someone jumped off a cliff and then gone off to have a shot themselves. We must ban all violent and salacious material from our TV screens. If only to protect the innocence of our progeny!"

The international community has appealed to Taavet to increase humanitarian aid to the world's poorer nations.
"Relief wouldn't hurt us... if we 'relieved' the right countries," suggests government advisor Marleen McAlpin. "We give them a little humanitarian aid, they give us access to their Automobile Manufacturing markets... it's win-win. Nothing wrong with a little quid pro quo, especially for a good cause."

If Frenzy Pyre is going to stay ahead of the game then it'll just have to accept that highly destructive weaponry is part of life. We'd also like to sell it commercially to your police force and citizens if you'd just sign here...?"

Top military designers in your secret laboratories have proposed projects to create nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and are looking to you for government support and funding.
The Debate
1. "This is a necessary step towards the creation of a safer Frenzy Pyre," claims Efthamia Blue, the leading researcher. "Yes, it will mean a large areas of land will become unusable as a result of the testing, and it will cost billions of Astras, but that's the price we must pay for our national security. Just think of the power we will have if we can turn our enemies into plate glass!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
2. "Why stop with making weapons for ourselves?" asks Elaine Neumann, CEO of Wendy's Weapons stores. "We can sell them to all sorts of groups and organisations: other nations, the WA, terror- uh - freedom fighters, anyone! And we produce our own for our protection. Think of the money we can make! I'm sure none of our clients would ever even think of trying to use them to influence our government with threats or anything like that!"
3. "You want to bring NUKES into Frenzy Pyre?!" screams anti-nuclear protestor, Heather Sparkle. "This won't make us safer - it will just give the power to destroy everything to a few people! We must hunt down the people who suggested this evil plan and have them hanged! We must protect nature from the horrible influences of science. I say ban all new weapons research!"
I kind of want to go for option 2 though. Just to see what will happen.

QuoteThe Issue
An elite group of highly-qualified, well-respected scientists, lawyers, and doctors are campaigning to outlaw the study of the Arts and Humanities in the Universities of Unistasia.
The Debate
"Why should Arts students get to lounge around reading books and watching daytime TV for hours on end, when some of our hard-working youngsters are dedicating themselves to the study of worthwhile and valuable subjects; studies which will benefit the nation as a whole?" asks Robin Broadside, a student engineer. "We should be grooming our young people to help, not sponge off the system. The Arts should be considered a hobby, not a career."
"You can't mean that," gasps Prof. Catherine Gratwick, renowned worldwide for her paintings of trains. "Learning should be done out of love, not duty. The Study of the Arts has been a noble field for many centuries, and learning it is not as easy as you think. I'd rather die than live in a world where creativity is stifled. We should be encouraging young artists, writers, musicians - if only to strengthen Unistasia's cultural reputation."
"What's the point in allowing most young people to continue in further education anyway?" enquires Rosalia Trust, a factory manager. "Surely most students would be better employed in manual and factory work? You should handpick a select few to study medicine, the law, science, and business of course, and utilise the majority of youth to increase the country's productivity in industry. Academic freedom just gets in the way of a functioning society, I've always said."

QuoteSeveral underground organisations in Jhut Bolokia have recently been spreading discontent throughout the populace about not being able to vote.
The Debate
"We demand the power to rule the country the way we want!" cries Heather Harishchandra while being dragged before you in chains. "Too long have you and your dictatorial government been allowed to control our lives! The right to vote in a fair and free election is all we crave! You can take our lives, but you'll never take our souls! Elections for Jhut Bolokia!"
"If you'll take my advice, we should just send these crazies down to the dungeons," murmurs Violet Neumann, one of your political advisors. "If we let them spread this propaganda we'll soon have a revolution on our hands! We should crack down on these groups, and ban non-governmental political organisations to keep the people from getting too frisky with their pitchforks."
"There's no need to be quite so dramatic," assures Efthamia Steele, your minister of Silly Walks as he pinwheels past. "We could let them have their way a little, just to keep them happy, you know? We could give them the right to vote, but not the right to run for office. Then we could just pick out the candidates we wanted and they could choose! We've been doing this for years, we don't want some uppity new bloke trying to tell us what to do."

"I think we've missed the fact that maybe this teenage pregnancy phenomenon is not such a bad thing," says Peggy O'Bannon, a famous demographer. "We need the population to grow, we need more people of working age, we need more tax for public services, et cetera. There are plenty of sound demographical reasons why we should be encouraging women to have families. By all means educate them about the dangers, but I don't think we ought to discourage teenagers from procreating - it's nature's way you know."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

QuoteThe Issue
The recent popularity of a science-fiction TV show has prompted calls for Frenzy Pyre to develop its own space program.
The Debate
1. "Don't tell me space colonies wouldn't be cool," says excited fifth-grade teacher Lauren Dovey, still wearing big Spock ears from his last convention. "Think of how they would galvanize the national population! And there would also be some kind of scientific benefit, probably."
2. "The project certainly is feasible, but very expensive," says Frenzy Pyre Space Agency Head Chastity Wu. "We could make it less of a burden on the taxpayers if we sought funding from private industry -- advertisements on the side of our rockets, selling contracts to the Arms Manufacturing industry, that kind of thing."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
3. "If God had meant Man to fly, he would have given us solid rocket boosters instead of legs," says religious type Robin Cho. "We should not be looking to the stars, but rather inside our own hearts. That's why we should abandon this so-called space program, and instead make the teaching of religion mandatory in all schools."

The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 2.

During the last Tavono 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.
"I think I see a solution to all this," says Xu Fellow, your Minister for Solutions, whilst solving the crossword in your morning newspaper. "We should overhaul the entire sport system in Tavono 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 Faith Strange. "We should completely overhaul Tavono itself to make it less hostile to those like Ms. Johnson! Schools, hospitals, workplaces " 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!"
The issue is about the separation of genders and this supposed activist for trans/intersex people suggests separating them even further?

QuoteWith military recruitment numbers down, there's been some discussion in civilian circles of relaxing 'sodomy' regulations in the armed forces in order to allow homosexuals to serve openly. However, with the occasional reports from the field of suspected homosexuals being beaten by their squadmates, some wonder if such measures are really appropriate for the notoriously conservative culture of Tavono's military.
"We still have a military?" questions your Minister of Peace, scratching his unruly hair and smelling none too vaguely of patchouli. "Man, I thought we got rid of those war pigs ages ago. Y'know, if you'd just listen to me and go with flowers instead of firearms, this whole gays-in-the-military thing wouldn't be such a buzzkill all the time. Hey, speaking of buzzes, I just got these mighty strong Bigtopian Blues from a guy I know. I'm on one right now and they are far OUT. You wanna expand your mind with me? No? That's cool too."

QuoteHealth workers are frequently being ignored by people when recommending vaccinations against common illnesses. When these people subsequently become ill they require expensive emergency care. To correct this situation, many health experts are lobbying for mandatory vaccinations.
The Debate
1. Thomas Schultz, a pro-vaccination taxpayer, says "If a doctor thinks a vaccination is good for you then you should have it. All these people turning them down are know-it-alls that are wasting my tax money. Or they're really afraid of needles."
3. Barack Gutenberg, Unistasia's leading expert on health spending, suggests a third way. "Leave vaccines optional but make free health care conditional on having them. That way people get to choose, and it will help ease the load on our national healthcare budget."

QuoteAngry farmers have taken to the streets demanding the government to act after reported sightings of strange Sand Dollar-like dogs eating all the crops in fields.
The Debate
"This unholy union should never have taken place to begin with," comments Billy du Pont, an angry farmer. "The Sand Dollar was never meant to mate with a dog! They eat my crops, they attack my livestock and they're breeding so quickly they're swamping the environment! We can't make a living like this! You've got to give us the funds and manpower to shoot anything that comes within a mile of our property and put an end to these freaks of nature! We must wipe these creatures out now or before you know it all we'll be eating is fish."
"We can't just destroy these creatures!" exclaimed Cooper Cheswick, owner of Jhut Bolokia's biggest safari park. "They may look ugly to you, but I think they're just beautiful. We need to study them and understand them; think of what we could learn! These wonderful beasts may be a little harmful to the environment, but think of the people who will flock to see them! It would be an educational experience! Think of the money!"
"We could always just kill off all the dogs," Beth Sato of the "Keep The Species Pure" foundation whispers to you in a conversation. "The Sand Dollar is one of the many things our country is famous for; any perversion of its image reflects upon us all! We can't have their image spoilt by these ugly abominations! Just get the police to go around and kill them all and we can rest easy knowing our countryside is safe!

"I have an even better idea," says Prudence Longfellow, a prison officer. "How about we force every healthy prisoner to donate blood? It's about time they gave back to society what they've taken away in the first place. If we do this we won't have to beg the law-abiding citizens of Frenzy Pyre to take time out of their day to give blood. It's not like these thugs are really doing anything for us, so missing a pint or three won't matter, am I right?"
"This. This is a crossroads." states noted avant garde artist Ivan du Pont. "This idea that we can standardize how people look at the world with words, it's a fool's errand.

QuoteMembers of a new weird religious cult, called the Order of Violet, ask for the government to appease their mighty god by offering Her a sacrifice of the human variety.
The Debate
"What have we got to lose?" says religious freedoms advocate Sophie McGuffin. "Just cut up a few homeless folk - it appeases this group's bloodthirsty Goddess, gets rid of unsightly bums that drain welfare, and everybody goes home happy."
"We must go much further than a few beggars!" argues the overzealous High Member of the Order of Violet, Sue-Ann Cheswick. "You must pass a law that everyone's first born child must be slaughtered, on live TV if possible. Think of the viewing figures!"

"Scum is such a harsh word. Everyone has something worthwhile to contribute, as my mother always said." says Agnes Dredd, controversial social theorist and fountain of homespun folk wisdom. "Even if they won't pay their taxes, folks ought to have other ways to pay back into society. They could spend some time with the civil service or military reserve, for example. And goodness knows, blood and organ donation rates aren't as high as they could be. A pint of blood or a good kidney ought to pay a tax bill right proper."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

QuoteThe 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? doodhuh;
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!

QuoteA 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."

The Issue
Due to the explosive population growth in Taavet, coupled with recent droughts, people are beginning to worry about the nation's decreasing water supply, and who should get first dibs on the vital H2O.
The Debate
"We need this water to raise our crops," says incensed farmer Wil Cheswick. "If it wasn't for us farmers, the rest of Taavet would be starving. How about laying the blame where it belongs, and look to those cookie cutter suburban houses with their green lawns and pristinely washed mini-vans!"
"It is my right to have the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood," says neighborhood spokesman Virginia Barnes. "Our community spends a lot of effort cultivating a nice environment for our kids to grow up in. Why, if they didn't have these nice lawns to play in, they would be hanging out on street corners peddling drugs, or worse! Won't someone please think of the children?"
"Here is a novel idea," proclaims George W. Christensen, spokesperson for radical environmental group Leave Nature Alone. "How about getting rid of all these dams and irrigation projects that are getting in the way of Mother Nature's plans for the water. It is time to allow the rivers to take their natural courses and leave the environment alone. I'm sure things will work out fine if we let Nature take its course."
"Obviously, who gets how much water is only a part of the problem," notes famed population-control advocate Alexander O. "We must try to curtail the rapid growth of our population, whether by limiting the amount of children people may have, or by deporting immigrants and criminals... we must get a handle on our population before we can hope to correct this water supply problem."

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.

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.

DICTATORSHIPS UNITE
QuoteThe 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 " 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 " a master race!"

QuoteThe Issue
A man by the name of &%*\@# Smith hit the headlines yesterday when he had his first name legally changed to 'John', citing the ridicule and stress he suffered because of his given name. Mr Smith publicly commented afterwards that there should be more restrictions on what parents can name their children.
The Debate
"People do so love to be different," says Insert Name Here, with a heavy sigh. "I don't know what my folks were thinking when they named me. Probably about how 'novel' and 'with it' they were being, but I didn't get a say in it did I? Growing up in my neighbourhood with the first name 'Insert' wasn't fun at all I can tell you! The government should set up a registry of recognised names that are clean, sensible, and non-teasable. Kids deserve better."
"It's none of the government's business what I name my daughter," says Follicle Rainbow Gooseknob, cradling [expletive deleted] in her arms. "Are you going to tell us what to think next? Where to go? Who to love? I don't want some grey-faced bureaucrat deciding what name is appropriate for my child! What kind of country hates personal freedom so much you can't even choose your own name?"
"Names? Names are so inefficient!" Says Five-Oh-Three McGoohan, counting beads. "Who can honestly tell one Stan Yeats from another? That name's so popular now, I met three people at the mall with it just last week! Face it! Names are old-hat! Everyone ought to go by a government-allocated ID number instead, much more practical. Who could make fun of a child named Six-Eight-Four?"

"The government has to step in and do something, for once!" demands tour operator Mia Jamieson, visibly pulling her hair out. "If we'd had proper railings on the marina, that shark would never have gotten into the oil refinery in the first place! The government has to put better regulations in place to make sure disasters of this kind never happen again. And if we want to coax back the tourists we've lost, we need a whole bunch of new state-subsidised hotels, parks and tourist attractions. Shark-proof ones. Our economy will never survive without it!"

"I only wanted to tour Boyahland for a few w-weeks," wails William Yeats, recovering from a particularly vigorous strip search. "I have a right not to be probed and prodded at the whim of some wand-waving monkey with a high school education! For a whole HOUR I might add! They treat us like cattle! In the name of DECENCY, I request, nay DEMAND an end to the disgrace that is airport security! I mean, really, it's like they don't trust me or something!"
All boyah visitors to be strip-searched y/n

I finally got my economy back on track
"Holy cow, is this gonna be great!" hollers BUBL President and sports nut Hack Aspera, waving a fashionable giant foam finger. "Baseball is just what Frenzy Pyre needs right now! Think about it: soda, popcorn, hot dogs... oh, and I'm sure the economy will benefit somehow, too! All we need is the government funding to build stadiums and teams, and we'll be on every TV and in every city in the country!"
"This is a very important step to securing the rights and lives of our families and controlling the government," urges noted gun ownership proponent Sashona Winters. "Not only would it significantly decrease crime, but it would also effectively stop government tyranny in its tracks. Of course, this also means that every wacko and their cousin will have a gun, but don't worry, you'll have a gun to defend yourself from them, so it will all work out."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
nice

CEO Steffan Taffs of CyberMirage Labs has a different idea. "Let us release SAL9000, our new AI, into the Frenzy Pyre Network. It'll put a stop to this virus. Never mind that it's still only an untested beta!"

Boyahland contains 3 nations.
Tovaslavian city profiles
Tovaseca: Capital of People's Glorious Nation of Tovaslavia. It is comprised mostly of postmodern architecture and financial buildings. Most of the residential buildings are over 50 floors high and have populations higher than small towns. Tovaseca is the second densest city in the world, only behind Hong Kong.
Typical Resident: Dude wearing a toga holding a business suitcase in his hand.
Kampanadas: Southernmost point of Tovaslavia. The city is actually based on many small islands. There's nightclubs everywhere, as well as a shitload of foreign restaurants. It is the Las Vegas of Tovaslavia.
Typical Resident: Due to the constant interracial mixing, people look like a mixture of everything. Typical residents walk around in swimming trunks and half-naked due to the extremely high temperatures.
Xariz: City famous for dance halls and culture. Very few tall buildings; most are built in French and Spanish colonial architecture.
Typical Resident: Dark haired woman with tight red clothes.
Sevrogradziek: Northernmost point of Tovaslavia, hence the name. Home to the stoner culture, it has weed shops on every corner and a ton of starving artists who survive only on pot brownies. Architecturally it is similar to London.
Typical Resident: White liberal with a beanie and Bob Marley T-shirt. Almost everyone wears skinny jeans, and almost everyone has a guitar and coffee.
Przgrjadko: Used to be an industrial powerhouse, until Tovaslavia switched to renewable energy. Now it is home to industrial parks and skater types shredding down abandoned warehouse roofs. It is the unofficial Gritty Capital of Tovaslavia.
Typical Resident: Dude or chick with 80's hair style and goth clothes and a skateboard.

Quote
The Kingdom of Frenzy Pyre is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Veritas with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.921 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87%. 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.
Citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Astras of property damage, and soldiers are equipped with multi-million Astra battlesuits. 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, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Astra.
Frenzy Pyre is ranked 1st in Boyahland and 27,168th in the world for Nicest Citizens, with 13 Smiles Per Hour (net).
