NationStates : Run a nation affected by in-game events and political yadas...

Okay, don't know how I did it but I went back to Right-Wing Utopia!

Now what a problem is, is now people want to put flouride in the tap water. That's just stupid! That has high toxicity levels! But you see, the other two options are TERRIBLE

1."Fluoride has been shown time and time again to promote dental health," argues Dr. Edwin Namel, Chairperson of 'Friends of The Teeth'. "It's not an experimental drug for heaven's sake, it's an accepted method of promoting national good health. A nationwide program for the fluoridation of drinking water should not be seen as optional - it's a no-brainer for any sensible government. We need to implement this now, whether the public want it or not."

2."I am strongly against this proposal!" rages Gertie Dimitrov, one of the more vociferous members of the Zanzibar Island Green Society. "When I turn on the water tap I expect to get just that. Water. Nothing else. We are not lab rats and it is not the government's place to force us into taking these chemicals! In fact I reckon we should put the brakes on all these new chemicals doctors keep pumping into people and give us the right to say no!"

3."There's no need to go to either extreme," says Jake McGuffin, your personal dentist. "It's all about, um, choice. Here's a nice alternative: why not just have clean non-fluorinated drinking water and give more funds to dentists? If we had enough money, we could make all dental care absolutely free! It will be demanding on the taxpayers I know, but they'll surely be happy when they all have sparkling white teeth!"

Now what I want to know if dismissing this issue is the best choice.

[The True Zephyr]

I say dismiss it.

[Corbiere]

You are aware that flouride exists in many real nation' water supplies aren't you?

I have somehow managed to turn my nation into a barren, inhospitable wasteland.

I win.

The Dominion of Epsilos is a small, devout nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20 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 Republic of Corennica is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 433 million 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 Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cathridge. The average income tax rate is 43%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Corennica to be bombproof, and people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer. Crime is totally unknown. Corennica's national animal is the buffalo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Cyan.

[auzman466]

Oh look, I've accidentally made my nation's surroundings barren.

[Bobah]

16 hours ago: Bobah was reclassified from "Democratic Socialists" to "Inoffensive Centrist Democracy".
Within 4 days my category changed again

[auzman466]

IT IS NOW!
So, those who have gotten this question before, which option (other than the third) is the better one?

[Flamecannon]

if you get rid of clothes, think about it
you're removing several jobs from several people

The Dictatorship of Benofdoom is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Ben with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.523 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gem City. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Book Publishing.

The nationalized auto industry is adept at making durable little cars nobody wants to drive, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', nude art is becoming wildly popular, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Benofdoom's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Money.

I have a great nation c:

[auzman466]

People shall be allowed to strip nude in public if they wish.
WHY ISN'T THIS REALITY

[Doomonkey]

I just completely removed welfare. Education is now 40% of the budget.

FinWinland, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed.
