Depression-ville continues to lose more and more regional power, every day.

Sadly, it's no longer a Psychotic Dictatorship. It's an Iron Fist Consumerists state, now.

The Empire of Thawmus has become an Authoritan Democracy, now, too. That's not so bad, actually.

Bjorkina Faso is going to see what happens if you follow "What Would Bjork Do?" as a governing principle. I expect society to collapse by day three at the latest.

Following a tragic double-murder, capital punishment has surged as an election issue. There now appears a real possibility that right-wing candidate Alexei Winters, running on a "Do the Crime, pay the Penalty" platform, will gain power. While society's intelligentsia is outraged, debate rages as to whether the government should intervene.
The Debate

1. "This is a democracy, remember?" rhetorically questions Professor Billy-Bob Li of the University of Greater Scordrag. "That means that if the people want something, the people get it. I hate to say it, but in the name of political freedom, we need to accept that our country will have the death penalty."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

2. "I'm sorry," says Civil Rights Unionist Naki Mistletoe, "but this travesty cannot be allowed to pass. If the government needs to crack down on lunatic fringe groups in order to keep our great nation free of the death penalty, then so be it. We must ban the politics of hatred and fear!"

I actually just went out and bought Jennifer Government.


It's ####ing hilarious.

Do I even want to ask what ill-effect adopting any policy on the BDSM issue initiates?

WHHHHAAAT??!

I got an issue where the choices come down to:

A) Government support of BDSM shops.

B) Government allowing BDSM in public displays of sexual affection.

C) Sending the police out to round up all BDSM'ers and imprisoning them.

I chose to allow BDSM shops.

I think it's to allow, not to "support"

I will not eat our beloved Gophers!

wow!

Mmm

NONE is a good option. People should have BDSM as much as they want but in they homes. No in the public view.

Now about my Kingdom:

The Issue
The Police department is considering installing surveillance cameras in all major public areas, in an effort to crack down on crime.

The Debate
"This is a blatant invasion of the right to privacy!" says libertarian web site operator Falala Barry. "Now I can't even go out in public any more without being watched? And you know this is just the beginning. Today there are cameras in city streets. Tomorrow they're peering through your bedroom window."
[Accept]


"Hey, I've got news for you," says Police media liaison Steffan Gutenberg. "When you're out in public, PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU. These cameras will be extremely helpful in reducing the national crime rate. Frankly, I can't see what the fuss is about."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


"This 'slippery slope' argument has got me thinking," says Police Minister Randy Hamilton. "You know, it would be a lot easier to fight crime if we watched people all the time. Not with cameras, of course. That's clearly an invasion of privacy. But how about a national database of our citizens, coupled with compulsory ID cards and barcoding? It would stop crime dead in its tracks."
[Accept]


since the movie Sliver that I love "Big Brother"! ideas. just as a fantasy of course.

Except it says they want government financial support or something like that in the option. It's where I'll likely head as the other two options are somewhat absurd but I can't say I feel the government needs to plunge money into BDSM shops either.

ohhh! Shops! oh.. it's ok then. no in public display but it's ok.

well, Thaumus's Ville Government already "take care" of his people in a BDSM kind of way. just not without the right clottes but still...

Man, my economy took a serious beating between my saying you couldn't sell industrial waste to the public nor could you fricasee our national animal.

I'm actually going to abolish speed limits just in the hopes of getting an economic boost.

I don't let my poeple eat my national animal and my economy is ok. Now civil rights...
