I was thinking, if anyone has any nationstates issue ideas, or even full drafts, they could post them here! I have a full draft i sent in this morning, so here it is! Saturday Morning Attacks Angry viewers are sending in complaints about a popular children's cartoon which has recently portrayed a certain wartime event where the show's title character bombed a certain nation filled with a certain stereotypical ethnic group. Legislation has brought the subject of cartoon censorship to your desk. Not valid for nations that have abolished television and/or electronics in general. [option] “We cannot allow this to go on!” says disgruntled single-parent @@RANDOMNAME@@ while trying to calm a crying infant with one hand and feed a toddler with the other. “Just last Saturday, my kid was exposed to no less than five suicide bombings on television, and that was the KIDS channel! On top of all the things I have to worry about, the last thing I need is to keep an eye on what my kids are seeing on television. The government needs to screen everything before just throwing it on the TV sets for the world to see! Think of the children!” [effect]Cartoon ideas are often put through a harrowing screening phase before being turned down. [stats]Civils rights decrease, entertainment industry decreases a lot. [option] “I can’t believe you’re actually considering this!” says @@RANDOMNAME@@, CEO of @@NAME@@’s largest animation studio. “Not only would you be limiting our freedom of expression, but you’d also be keeping the generation of tomorrow from learning about very real issues in today’s society. Sure, they may be a bit impressionable at times, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the long run!” [effect]Saturday morning cartoons teach kids how to create weapons of mass destruction using silly putty and paper clips. [stats]Youth crime increases, economy increases a bit. [option] “There is… a third option.” A shadowy figure whispers into your ear. “We could use these cartoons as a first stage of recruitment. Our military has such a dwindling supply of willing volunteers these days, wouldn’t it be wonderful if that changed with the next generation?” the shadowy figure slips over to the side of your desk, a twinkle in his sunglasses. “All we need to do is plant subliminal messages into these cartoons, then we wait. Within the next 10 years, we’ll have an army the size of our entire population!” the figure sneaks out after flashing the other people in your office with a small, pen-shaped device. [effect]Youth as young as four years old are being mentally prepped to join the military by a cartoon sergeant. [stats]Civil rights decrease drastically, military spending increases. (Excuse the odd formatting. I'm not sure why it's doing that exactly...) |

I really like it, someone should do an issue based off the Cecil the lion incident. I might write it if I have the time. |

Name: @@ANIMAL@@ Killer? Description: Yesterday, a man prominent in the @@INDUSTRY@@ industry shot and killed an endangered @@ANIMAL@@ with a bow. Animal rights activists and concerned citizens are now approaching you to do something about it. Validity: Valid where hunting is legal, there are animals, weapons ownership is legal Options: [option] "KILLER! MURDERER!" shouts @@RANDOMNAME@@, animal rights activist. "That man must be arrested! Nay, executed! And make sure anyone who dares touch an animal suffer the same fate!" [effect]Anyone who so much as uses a mousetrap is promptly executed. [stats]Civil rights decrease sharply, authoritarianism increases, enviromental beauty increases slightly, taxes increase [option]"Well, that's a little extreme," says concerned citizen @@RANDOMNAME@@, "But this is still a problem, no? There should be tighter hunting regulations." [effect]Hunting season is a lot shorter than most hunters would prefer. [stats]Civil rights decrease, taxes slightly increase [option]A group of duck hunters with shaggy beards walk into your office. "@@LEADER@@, what's so wrong with hunting? We get some food, and, after all, they are just animals? Just relax the hunting laws a bit, wouldja?" [effect]Hunting laws are now barely applicable or nonexistent [stats]Civil rights increase, enviromental beauty decreases slightly, taxes slightly decrease [option]The now-legendary man who killed the @@ANIMAL@@ runs from crowds of angry protesters and quickly runs into your office. "@@LEADER@@, these people are making too big of a fuss about this. It's just a @@ANIMAL@@! Could you, you know, get rid of these hunting regulations? It would take a load off of a lot of people's backs." [effect]Every day is hunting season in @@NATION@@. [stats]Civil rights increase sharply, taxes decrease sharply, environmental beauty decreases |

This issue is meant to be slightly different than the real life issue | |

Not yet. I'm wondering what the wait time would typically be for confirmation if it was accepted. | |
