Add legislation controlling marijuana usage
Begin building a space station so population can space
Allow gay marriage if not allowed.
I am serious.
Increase happiness by building some homeless shelters in the capital city.
Also, tell the NSSR to back off.
Begin to nationalize the mining industry and make yourself a contender in the mining industry on a global scale, also, use your newfound wealth and resources to work on a space station.
Doing all these because nobody is debating them.
Implement a 50% tax on marijuana, and fines for smoking in public.
Introduce a benefits system (i.e. more money on your tax return) for not using marijuana.
People appear to be debating this so I won't do anything about this. Debate it more, come up with a compromise or whatever you feel should be done.
