Well it seems like my people are super healthy compared to yours haha

[Doomonkey]

I am very annoyed. My government recently made college free to everyone. I just got an issue about people complaining about the cost of going to college.

My nation appears to rely more on God for healing. Silly devout spiritualists.

Managed to up the Exposure % to 5% and Work to 29%, which made everyone slightly 'healthier'.

Solution to all government problems:

1) Is it going to incur entertainment or any kind of fun?
Yes: Disagree with it in the most evil way possible
No: 2)

2) Will it end up benefitting people in any way if I agree to it?
Yes: Disagree with it in the most evil way possible
No: Consider again because that's not possible, or go to 3)

3) Will it result in flogging?
Yes: AGREEEEE
No: 1)

Maxotopians are executing my tourists...Ah well, decision time:

"Everyone knows what barbarians those Maxtopians are!" says Beth Winters, parent to one of the arrestees. "They've not even allowed my son and his friends access to lawyers! That government is as corrupt as they are cruel, my boy would never have anything to do with drugs! You need to do something to save them, I'm begging you! I'm sure the Maxtopian officials will back down if you threaten trade sanctions or something. Right?"

I like trade.

"You've got to see it from the other side," argues Mary Rikkard, a customs official. "While it's unfortunate that the sentence is so stiff, they really shouldn't have been smuggling drugs. I'm sure we wouldn't be happy if Maxtopians came over here with banned goods. I just can't sympathise: they were greedy, they broke the law, they got caught. What makes them so special that they should be bailed out? At the taxpayers' expense I might add. Let them be - it'll show we respect the judicial rights of other countries."

I don't respect my own government's judicial preferences, let alone another 'nation' of them. Really...anyway, they're my tourists, and they stole them from me.

"I agree," chimes in Xu Dimitrov, an anti-drug campaigner, waving a banner which reads 'Don't Be a Fool, Drugs Aren't Cool'. "Did you ever stop to think that our foreign neighbours might have the right idea? A zero-tolerance attitude to the drugs issue is what this country needs! Death to the dealers!"

As much as I would love to kill drug dealers, I have a feeling my economy would suffer. Sorry.

"You people are so quick to lay the finger of blame," says Sarah de Castro, an ambassador at Epsilos's embassy in Maxtopia. "My motto has always been 'If you want something, give something away'. It is the government's duty to protect its citizens from harm! We don't want to cause too much international friction by making a mockery of their laws so we've got to settle things more diplomatically: they scratch our backs now and we'll scratch theirs later."

Diplomacy? Hahahahahahahahaha! Ha!

"That's what they want! Leverage!" hollers Ariel Wu, your Minister of Defence, storming into your office. "Advances in our markets, political favours - they'll do anything to undermine us! They've always hated us, those rats! If you ask me, this brouhaha isn't about drugs - it's a spit in our eye, that's what it is! What kind of people execute kids for having a few ounces on them? We ought to give them a good bombing, then they'll know how a proper country behaves!"

Are ANY of these suggestions any go- oh wait...BOMBING.
Finally!!!

[Doomonkey]

Oh boy, I got to make the choice to exterminate homeless people like the vermin they are.

[Mikoyan]

Adding the option, 'None of the above' on ballots? yeah okay.

[Bobah]

I made a new region if anyone is interested http://www.nationstates.net/region=new_tharsis

[Flamecannon]

whats higher than right wing utopia

[Doomonkey]

I just got an issue where crazy religious people wanted human sacrifices. One of the potential solutions was to use homeless people, which was described as a plus in one way because it would lower welfare costs.

Two problems: I completely got rid of welfare. All homeless people are executed anyway.

[Corbiere]

Execute the homeless.

+1 Doomonkey :D
