Barcoding introduced to Sheepsta

[Sheep]

Sheepstan President, Field Marshall Philip Dunning, has announced a plan to barcode all Sheepstan citizens with implanted chips to enable to track their movements.

This will be used for a number of purposes namely to continue new measures to curb what can only be called a growing crime rate.

Not only has this meassure been introduced, but it has been applauded by members of the National Socialist Party of Sheepsta, the only legal political faction.


Other measures recently adopted were to censor violence from television replacing it with racist television mainly cultivating a deep hatred from Alecrast many Sheepstans already posses.


An offical from the Ministry of Public Information and Enlightment has acertained that the Field Marshall has prven insturmental in the implementation of such programs. These programs build the national consious and although we are not militarily strong opposed to other regional powers, we are capable of defending ourselves.

I like the idea of the Internal Affairs thread. I will prbs start using it.

As Sheep said, there is no war yet, just tension and a blockade.

If you can explain the technology behind this, I'll let you have it. Otherwise, forget it.[/OOC]

I think he is just refering to that NationStates issue, where one of the choices is to barcode the citizens in order to keep track of their movements.

(The other two are to build a system of surveillance camerar or to not build said system)

The NS issue is to have a national wide ID card. That's fine. His is "implanted chips," which is another beast altogether.

My 'implanted chips' are just taking the thing a little fither. Think of them as small computer chips, not unlike ID cards implanted under the skin.

I cannot say anything else for national security reasons.

Actually, the NS issue has the option of a national ID Card and barcoding, and when you pick that option, it says "citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements".

Basically I was using my imagination with the issue. Isn;t that what rp is?

The barcode is on the ID card.

My problem is with unspecified uber technolgy.

[Mr. President]

You could implement a thing like that incrementally, and at great expense by deploying people to every hospital in the country and implanting all the new births.

To get older people, you could have dentists or doctors implant them at routine check-ups.

I still think it's ubertech, though.

(Not to mention a rip-off of Left Behind.)

I was kind of ripping off Demolition Man. Hey it doesn;t have any real affect on the rp enviornment tho.
