Results of my first issue decision

[ColdWizard]

yes, superb is better than excellent

[General Ludd]

I just passed my second edict.


The hospitals wanted to be able to pay people for their organ donations, can you imagine that? Turning the hospital into some sort of money-making buisness? As if I'm going to let people sell their colons when I don't even let them sell lemonade.

Passing this eddict may of reduced organ donations - and that's a decision of the people - but the important thing is that it reduced my economy from developing to fragile. My chief advisors are still looking for a way to end the black-market trout farming, though.


The next buisness of state will be to increase social services spending on the new budget, I think.

The names change randomly. My brother was not called 'Anne-Marie' a second ago...

"This raises an interesting issue," says Anne-Marie Summers, your brother. "And that is: why do we need elections, anyway? Seems to me it would be much simpler if you just decided what was right, and did it. Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of time?"



I decided to make people vote as the elderly vote the most and they choose conservatives too much

[Lemmy]

this is hilarious!
As you know, i'm the evil dictator...so here's another issue.

People Request Not So Much Dictatorship, If That's All Right

Government Acts

The Issue

While effusively praising Lemmington's leadership and bowing repeatedly, a delegation has humbly requested that the government take a more "modernistic" view in the future.

The Debate

The High Minister for Finance, who also happens to be your brother, dismisses the claim. "What these people fail to realize is that you know what's best for them. The alternative is anarchy! I say stick to your course. And execute these wackos for treason."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


"Perhaps the people could be given some more political freedoms," muses your Chief of Staff, who is your sister. "Is there really such harm in allowing public discussion of ideas? We could even have a real Opposition Party. One that isn't just full of your puppets, I mean."
[Accept]

It's clear what i chose off course

budget issue with 4 option on what to fund: education, police and military, something about the socially marginalized, and a some nut wanting a tax cut

i chose the police and military option and legislation is currently pending

as a result, my taxes increased from 8% to 9% and political freedom dropped to outlawed

i'm undecided on my second issue regarding the national animal, polar bears.
"The fact is, the polar bear population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson George W. King. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have polar bear kebabs, polar bear pies, polar bear-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 polar bear over-population," says random passer-by Buy Winters, "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."

"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Peggy Hanover. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The polar bears were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The polar bear is part of what makes Eternal Cold a great nation!"

i'll either go with the first option (what does polar bear taste like? ) or dismiss the issue

[red_jon]

You think eating polar bear is disturbing? My (slightly insane) friend sent me this telegram from his country-

Hmm, I have uranium, wanna swap for some children ?


lets say every 10 lbs of child gets u 7 ounces of uranium

[ixnay]

I just vetoed a proposed increase in military spending. My nation has no income tax.

[Kassiopeia]

My national animal is the Japanese schoolgirl. Wouldn't want to eat those.

I decided to accept cloning of human embryos for purposes of medical science. We shall see what will happen.

That's pretty much what the game is about.

[Frozzy]

I vetoed an issue about some science geeks wanting to ban cars. Not even worth the effort.

[Method]

denied some nudists wanting to frolic freely in public

P.S. I'm appalled that the Imperial Republics, a close neighbor of Ubinia, would jail animal liberationists. Truelly despicable!

These unlawful disrespectful anarchists were damadgeing private and public property. The Federal government will not tolerate such undemocratic means of achieving goals. If they had gone through the proper channels of public governance then maybe the senate would not have been so hard handed. I'm all for animal rights, but don't mess with the system in the Federation. None of the Imperial Republics will have pity on you.

I hope this will be a lesson to them and next time they want to help the poor chickens on the bladed conveyor belts they think of their actions first. Then I will be the first to help them.


btw, I allowed free speach rascist soap operas to be governed by tv ratings and now:
"Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit". and the economy is now strong! I'm going to have to make sure it doesn't get out of hands though...

[Drogue]

I have had five motions so far. One on Harry Potter, which I allowed through, so as to really annoy the religions sect; one on Euthanasia, which is now legal so long as the patient asks; one on minorities in soaps, where I told them to go away and leave the TV be; one on funding political parties, which is now outlawed from corporations; and the one on gambling, which I have no idea on. Should I outlaw it, let it run free, or dismiss it?

Undemocratic? What could be more democratic then people taking matters into their own hands and waging war on the evil corporations that exploit the earth and oppress the people! Your willingness to help corporations is truelly disturbing!


I say to all citizens of the Imperial Republics: Come to the Free lands of Ubinia, where you will be safe of prosecution, and ecuraged to take arms against the evil corporations and those who would harbour them!
