simple country Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Let's try drafting another issue. What do you have in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Badger Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Remember the issue where the end result is that the paparazzi is in your bedroom snapping pictures? What if the marriage ban is an aftermath of this issue? Your spouse has left you because of the affair. And many people across the nation are leaving their spouses in honor of you and are asking for a marriage ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple country Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 I think the issue is a reversal on a ban on marriage, not a ban on marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simple country Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 I don't think so, why you want to create an issue on choosing a vice leader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujai Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yeah, I think it would be a great idea. We could have a bunch of different personalities, background, and political views. The possibilities are endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple country Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Okay, we have our next idea, appointing a deputy leader. Time for options and validity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujai Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Description: After the recent departure of your deputy leader, @@RANDOMNAME@@ for...somewhat unsightly reasons, the time has come to choose a new second-in-command for the glorious @@LEADER@@. Validity: Any? [option] "Candidate Number One hails from far in the north," calls the announcer, who has suddenly appeared from behind your chair, "he always dresses for the weather, and enjoys outdoor activities such as hunting trespassers and polishing his guns." [option] "Candidate Number Two is a bigwig politician, well known for her long history in politics. She has the loveliest personality, will do anything to stay hip for the young voters, and enjoys long, luxurious bubble baths." -I got two candidates done, but they need more work. I liked the idea of having it be like a dating game show, gives it some life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujai Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I like it, but I think it needs more humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langburn Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 [option] "I want to be vice leader," bellows renowned unionist and socialist leader as he stumbles out of a recital of the Communist Manifesto. "I will improve the lives of @NATION@'s proletariat and overthrow the bourgeoisie for once and for all!"

Elegarth Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 If I remember correctly, the "decrease / increase" part are decided by the issues mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujai Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm pretty sure you can give general guidelines as to what stats increase and decrease, but the issues mods have the final say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple country Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Doing that issue was GM crops was fun, even if I didn't participate much. I didn't have to, you guys have such great ideas that all I had to do was post it in the "Got Issues" forum. A nation on the Gameplay forum said this on the onsite forums. A long time ago. I was an aspiring nation. When I reached 7 billion citizens I realized that's an entire planet's worth of people. So I changed the name from Holy Empire [which was only because holy apparently unlocks an easter egg] to Holy Galactic now at 13 billion I'm not a nation anymore we're a species. We've got enough people for two planets so as such giant nations including ones even bigger than mine. Should have bigger issues. Planetary colonization, global thermonuclear war, etc. I was wondering if anyone else felt the same. Should we do an issue with this in mind?

simple country Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 I poked my head into the Writer's Block and discovered a trove of issues to write. Overfishing Compulsory retirement/retirement ages Sales tax/VAT National census National debt (defaulting?) Appointing a deputy leader Unemployment Complete Employment Immigration (results of restrictions) Recycling Advertising standards Abolishing feudalism (response to option 1 of Issues #61) Dealing with aspects of a socialist/communist system - centralised vs. decentralised economic planning, electing/appointing managers/officers, autarky. Product placement Drug tourism Reversing the abolition of courts "Affluenza" Trial by media Hiking the price of generic or life saving drugs Other religions besides @@FAITH@@ being taught in schools "Wasteful government spending" and how to fix it A "Pledge of Allegiance" reversal A reversal of a ban on video games Frivolous petitions to the government (Boaty McBoatface, anyone?) Access to information laws Emergency preparedness (such as evacuations in the case of a major disaster) A lack of women and minorities being appointed to government positions/cabinet "@@DEMONYM@@washing" in the film industry (obviously a play on whitewashing) Crumbling infrastructure (think piping, sewers, dams as opposed to roads) The length of election campaigns A shortage of judges @@NAME@@ boycotting the Olympics due to being held in an "enemy" country The government's funded sports team (baseball?) is proving to be unpopular Different methods of capital punishment (eg: firing squad, public hanging, lethal injection etc) A shortage of the drugs required for lethal injections Honoring existing treaties set up by the previous government Issues directly dealing with foreign aid [raising, lowering, dealing with offering it to oppressive nations etc] Issues about a national anthem (eg: making it gender neutral, removing references to God etc). Note: This will not give you the ability to add an anthem to your nation. A reversal on banning immigrants from voting Issues addressing specific industries, or combinations of them. Think of the consequences of having a large or small industry, the problems they might face when growing or shrinking, or the trade-offs between various industries. There are some severely lacking in issues, such as: basket weaving, gambling, furniture restoration, fishing, pizza delivery, woodchipping, soda sales.

simple country Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Here is another potential issue to write about. Alright, let's do this.So, with Pokemon Go being all the rage this last week, something interesting is happening.1. People tend to walk the streets at night, getting into weird situations2. People tend to not watch where they walk, causing traffic accidents3. (some) people (kids?) suffering from obesity are slowly getting their much needed exercise.4. etc.This would make for a nice issue, where a company brings to market a GPS-based mobile app where you catch @@ANIMAL@@s. And how the government should act on it (promote it, fine those who trespass/jaywalk, etc.). But I'm not sure if something is similar is already in the game (500+ issues, forgive me for not knowing them by heart, I was too busy spraypainting trains). Soo, any tips/suggestions on how tackle this, if at all? Or someone wants to take over the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
