Well I got one.

People have begun posting new issues so I added the spoiler alert.

Same here.

Its NOT a hoax any more! Ive been proven wrong.

I got two (single in two nations).

One was the Corruption Scandal. The other was the Sporting Events.

Good choices, Slaggy! :D

fair treatment for bondage nuts!!!

nice one

W00t! I've been waiting for this one for a long time! "No Pain, No Gain", aka official nation stance on terrorism. I won't spoil it for you, but take a wild guess at what I chose :wink:

I got the Whips, Chains, and Leather oh My! Rather..interestingly odd.

i was so happy to finally receive a new issue that i decided to submit one myself :shock:

*hopes more new issues will arrive ASAP!!!*

anyways, to those who submitted a new issue... TY!!!! :)

W00t!

The Brotherhood of Nod Decides:
Is it Art or is it Porn?

Government Acts
The Issue
Vocal members of the Moral Minority have been complaining and petitioning the government about the new art gallery displaying several provocative nude portraits by several famous artists. Moral Minority members claim these pieces of work promote prostitution and indecent sexual acts.

The Debate
"Stop my children from looking at smut! These artists are only perverts pretending to be artists! Think of the children!" says Buy Longbottom, mother of three and proud member of Mothers Promoting Purity. "These artists are only going to rouse our innocent children to commit grotesque acts of immorality! Get rid of it all!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


"Well, I see that point, but we certainly don't need to ban inoffensive art, still lifes of inanimate objects and such," says your sister, Stephanie Chicago. "Perhaps we should set some guidelines for what is acceptable as art and what isn't. Artistic renditions of people getting it on are one thing. A bunch of fruit in a decorative bowl is another entirely."
[Accept]


"That is censorship!" says noted art history teacher Clint Jones. "You can't ban art! It's freedom of expression; it's part of our culture. If anything, the government should be supporting these artists and their work, not listening to these prudish whackjobs who are scared of a little bare skin!"
[Accept]

There's three issues of mine out there altogether. :mrgreen:

Hopefully a couple of mine will get through this time...

provided nobody beats me to my ideas.... again :evil:

Oh yes! "Whips, Leather, and Chains, Oh my!" I'm taking bets on how long it is until someone complains about this one... :lol:

And I kept the gold in "Diving for Dollars". I am Dishonorable Scum, after all. :twisted:

(Just a side note: Anyone consider changing the "Dollars" in that title to the national currency? I know, it sounds cool as is, and the "Bowling for Dollars" reference is obvious, but...)

Hmmmm several of my nations got new issues....I'm so happy (A cute little catgirl starts dancing around on the screen, hair spinning out, her ears twitching and tail swaying back and forth.) Nice to see them comming in now.....my imagination created catgirl got so excited that the screen started to get hot....sorry imagination going for overtime pay.

Thank you, MODS! You rule!!!

Well I got one.

I also got one about a large computer company........i decided to shut them down :lol:

I got "Scandal Rocks NuMetal's government!"

Nice one Slag....
now I just hope some of mine are accepted

Yeah, I got some issue about music and Satan. This should be interesting how it effects my nation.

Though I haven't had the scandel one, it seems good since everyone is talking about it. Either that or its sucking up.

I can not wait to log on and check. first I dismiss or answer all of my puppets' issues and then wait.

Streaker in Snooker Game Fiasco

The Issue
After a sixty year old man with psoriasis streaked past cameras and millions of sports fans during the snooker league playoffs, protesters have called for tougher action.

The Debate
"This can't go on!" says traumatized snooker player Tobias Spirit, "Children are watching sports and having them exposed to this lewd behaviour is unacceptable! I demand that these people be locked up for several years and maybe they'll have learnt their lesson!"
[Accept]


"Oh don't be ridiculous!" scoffs prolific streaker Max Barry, "It's all just a bit of fun and the kids shouldn't be wrapped in cotton wool, or they'll learn nothing! Sports are so dull anyway, it needs a little bare skin to liven it up. Streaking should be legal!"
[Accept]

I knew it! :wink:

great (but where's the option to ban tv completely?)

*dies laughing*

...We can call it "Who Wants to be an Immigrant?"...

Classic.

indeed they are. I got the issue "prisoners demand elbowroom"

My Left-Leaning College State and my Iron Fist Consumerists both got the Streaking issue. I wanted to see two new issues :(

indeed they are. I got the issue "prisoners demand elbowroom"

Hehehe, I was going to submit "Prisoners demand Dove soap bars!" but thought better of it... :D

(Qaa, why are you using another nation. Boredom?)
I was on a school computer, and did not want to risk that another UN nation had used our school's LAN.

I got one of Slaggy's



Turn Down That Racket, Say Morality Police
The Issue

A group of concerned parishioners and soccer moms has petitioned the government of Qaaolchoura to outlaw heavy metal music, which they fear is a bad influence on youngsters.
The Debate

1. "Heavy metal music is a plague in our good nation and its God-fearing people!" argues local priest and easy listening advocate Hope Nagasawa. "Just the other day, I heard a song by some group called Hell's Irate Puppies with a sinful quantity of bass and drum... oh, and there were probably some lines about killing parents, too, I'd imagine! It's vital that we ban this music, and remove this terrible influence from our children's lives! Think of the children!"
[Accept]

2. "Whoa, man... what's with the, like, censorship and stuff?" asks Tobias Washington, scruffy-haired bassist of the popular speed metal band The Destroyinators. "You can't, like, censor the music, man. That's how we express ourselves! Every bass beat is me bearing my soul! Every howl is me complainin' about how my parents tried to kick me out of their basement! Besides, what's wrong with Satan? He's just misunderstood anyway. I say promote the arts, man!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

3. "You know, this heavy metal issue has me thinking," says Anne-Marie Falopian, your brother, over your weekly game of cribbage. "If these long-haired freaks want to put out their devil-worshipping metal, why don't we let them? Of course, we'll put a little subliminal propoganda into every song... after all, don't these guys owe their freedom of expression to you?"
[Accept]

The Government Position

The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 2.

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.

As soon as people start revealing complete issues, it's time to put a SPOILER ALERT! in the thread's name. Thank you :wink:

Wuddathortatitudbebludyobviousdatistopicudavespoilersinit...

*breathes*

Would have thought that it would be bloody obvious that this topic would have spoilers in it...

I received the new issues! They are great!

Thanks, mods! *hughs the mods* (in a non-gay way :P )

I hope my issue is accepted. (it's one about an 'addicting computer game')

9 nations, and no new issues. Just my luck. :(

9 nations, and no new issues. Just my luck. :(Haha. Watch tomarrow you are flooded with all the new ones released so far.

Oh, yeah... if you guys think the issues are funny, wait until you see their results... the third option of the issue on overcrowded prisons is my favorite. ;)

I see. :|

Euthanasia is legal, organ donation rates have hit a new low, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime is totally unknown. Qaaolchoura's national animal is the gwajhzand conure-hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the drachauq.

That's the result of the second option to:
#42: Turn Down That Racket, Say Morality Police [Issue by The Prelapsarian State]

I think Slaggy was refering to:
#43: Prisoners Demand Elbow Room [Issue by Lucazmodei]
The result for option three on that one is... you'll just have to try it out for yourself ;)

Ballotonia

...and artists are jailed regularly and art-burning parties are common... :twisted:

There is one that I got today (Great Wall around [nations name]) that is immensely like another issue (can't remember what it is called).

Just IMHO.

But #35 doesn't have the option of putting a big wall around the country, or "Who Wants to be an Immigrant?"! :lol:

<3 "Who Wants to be an Immigrant?"

"They found out I did WHAT!?" Advisor Lotsalovin says in his morning meeting in your office. "This just can't happen! How can government officials do their jobs properly if we have to work under the constant scrutiny of these idiotic supermarket tabloids? I say tabloid newspapers must be banned, and we must not allow newspapers to speak ill of our government officials... for the good of Hendon, of course.."
[Accept]


"Unbelievable!" says Reverend Johan Longfellow of the local Catholic church. "Our government officials must be held to a higher standard than this! Mr. Lotsalovin must be removed from office and jailed. We cannot allow such disgusting corruption within the halls of justice!"
[Accept]


"Whoa, whoa, hey, now..." argues Senator Randy Shiomi. "What happened to Mr. Lostalovin is no different than affairs that happen all over Hendon every day! Before you know it, they'll be after YOUR sexual history! I think what we need to do is take the public attention off of it somehow, perhaps by... oh, I don't know... giving them a tax cut! That'll divert their attention from this momentary distraction just long enough for Mr. Lotsalovin's divorce process to end!"
[Accept]


This is bollocks, there is a real lack of quality control and balance on these new issues. response 1 is a authoritarian response, response 2 is a loony right wing response and no. 3 is a capitalist response. where's the libitarian or socialist response? there's no balance and it's detracting fromn the gameplay, I've had 3 of these new issues and they've all been shite.

where's the libitarian or socialist response?

It's called 'dismiss'.

Ballotonia

Very few of the original 30-someodd issues are 'balanced', either, or cover the entire political spectrum. The idea is that through a combination of issues you can steer your country toward a particular political ideal, not that every single issue has a choice for every single ideal.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I respect that, but in response, as someone else pointed out to somebody griping about the new issues, if you don't like the quality on the current ones, submit better ones and raise the bar! :wink:

Oh, yeah... if you guys think the issues are funny, wait until you see their results... the third option of the issue on overcrowded prisons is my favorite. ;)

I see. :|

Euthanasia is legal, organ donation rates have hit a new low, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume.

Holy crap I need that one!!

"aahh the acoustics are just right in here"
