I got this issue this afternoon. I particularly like the first answer:

The Issue

In light of Fiznab's ban on gambling, people ranging from angry homemakers to allegedly legitimate businessmen have been argueing incessantly about whether or not banning casinos was a good idea.

The Debate

"We are highly distressed at your decision to revoke our casino licences," says FamilyCorp. Representative "Fat Tony" Klaus Barry, while sipping a glass of fine wine. "If the ban were to be revoked, think of all the money you could get from your cut of the profit. In addition, it would help ensure the safety of assorted members of Fiznab's government. I think this is an offer that you should not refuse."

"These casinos cannot be allowed to reopen!" says mother and homemaker Faith Washington. "Remember what happened last time? People get out of control and lose their life's savings! Just say no to these so-called legitimate businesses! And crack down on the rest of organized crime while you're at it."


"There is a solution to this problem" says Native Fiznabite chief Dances-with-jackalopes. "You could let us front the casinos as payback for stealing our land, and we'll enforce age limits and pay some tax on the income these casinos generate. Just think of the jobs it could create for us, and the boost to the economy!"

Lol...I just noticed this today in my little summary paragraphs:

A nation-wide cull of dogs is in effect, the tenet of free speech is held dear, surveillance cameras are banned, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Shizland's national animal is the dog and its currency is the gold coin.

I remember getting that question about how to deal with massive dog overpopulation. I guess when I said the best answer was to kill them rather than eat them (disgusting), I was forgetting that the dog is my national animal!

I love the outcomes of these choices. Here's the decision I had to make. The bold is the one I picked.

The Issue

After a recent spate of high-profile lawsuits against corporations concerning the safety of their products, corporations have appealed to the government to change the laws of compensation.

The Debate

1. "It's crazy!" cries Freddy Silk, CEO of Sharp 'n' Pointy Things Incorporated. "These people should simply not be allowed to put the blame on us if they mindlessly abuse our products! I'd have thought it would be common sense not to stick your hand in a blender to 'see if it was working properly'. We need to outlaw these ridiculous lawsuits so I can get on with my business and those working in the law profession can get on with theirs."


2. "I'm almost inclined to agree," muses Billy-Bob Hanover, a nearby firefighter. "People really should know better than to dry their cats in the microwave oven. But it's also that microwave oven that should not start a fire if one leaves it running overnight. Let's just put higher national safety standards in place that all products must be certified to meet. The extra expense shouldn't worry people if it's the difference between life and death after all."

3. "There's nothing wrong with victims getting a little money for the damage they've suffered," claims Pete Thiesen, Tyrant Ferenc Invictus's most notorious lawyer. "In fact we should be increasing court capacities so everyone with a complaint to file won't have to wait long before they can get before a judge. Sure it'll be expensive to implement, but maybe then the manufacturers will think twice before selling their unsafe junk without explaining things clearly in the manuals!"

Here's the resulting comment:

corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products.

 

[Zhukov]

My country has gone from a Psychotic Dictatorship to a Corrupt Dictatorship to a Father Knows Best State to a Compulsory Consumerist State to a Corporate Police State, in the span of about two weeks.

The last three in the last three days. This despite the fact that I outlawed private enterprise about a month ago....

It would be nice if this simulation was a little more responsive to the selections one makes. That is, possessed some sort of memory about previous questions and answers so that it didn't bother asking future questions that weren't really appropriate.

Oh well, I suppose it was worth the amount of money it cost to play, and not a bit more.

 

[ChrisH]

I have joined the USMB Warfare region with my country, The United States of Cavalh. I sure hope you all are not running your countries like you would in real life, because some of you are apparently psychotic dictators, LOL! :fifty: :halo:

 

[Zhukov]

Mine was a Psychotic Dictatorship for quite awhile. And yes, I was running it how I would in real life. :dev1:

I think I ended up on a Father Knows Best State. I stopped bothering to log in awhile ago when I started getting the same issues over and over again.

same here and no matter what you did, you became a dictator. lame site.

 

[Zhukov]

same here and no matter what you did, you became a dictator.

Now, if you adopted virtually every liberal position, or the most liberal position in the instances when you had multiple liberal options, then you received a positive sounding label, without the negative connotations/implications.

Liberal socially I should stress. Liberal economic policies, on the other hand, led to terms like Compulsory Consumerist State, and Corporate Police State.

Personally, "Father Knows Best State" sounds good to me, but I got the feeling they meant it in a pejorative sense.

I am quite confident they did!
