Please check out my issue, if you see any (which are probably a lot) spelling/grammatical mistakes please say so. Also say what you think about this issue, if people like it I will submit it, if people dislike it, it is useless to submit it... :cry:


Title: Increasing Child Labour in @@NAME@@
Description: Afther some shocking speeches given by one of @@NAME@@’s most important Bishops, people started to claim that religion is a “threat” for @@NAME@@’s society.
Validity: Only valid for nations with high economical freedoms.
Options:
[option]"What is wrong with Child Labour?" says land-owner @@RANDOMNAME@@ while looking over it’s Trout Farm. "Why should the government decide about who works at our trout farms? This my ESTATE you hear me? MY ESTATE? The government has no right to decide about the children. Did you know many lower-class parents can barely afford it to give their children enough to eat? Yes of course they are forced to work for me and sometimes they are spanked when they do something wrong, but what is wrong with that? I pay them the best wages they can possibly get and they learn more at my trout farm than they do at school, they learn about discipline and money and of course responsibility. The government needs to understand that Child Labour is good for children, and of course, for the economy!"
[effect] An increasing amount of 5 year children work on trout farms for only 1 @@CURRENCY@@ cent a day.
[stats] economy increases, commerce becomes a more important priority, education becomes a very low priority, trout farming becomes a more important industry.

[option]"I also say there is noting wrong with child labour" says military general @@RANDOMNAME@@. "But forcing them to work on trout farms is quite useless, we have enough of people who can do that job, for almost the same wages. What we truly need is young volunteers for our army, think of all the benefits we will receive from it! There small hands are very skillfull at cleaning my rifle. And when he time comes they can be used as soldiers to fight at our front lines. So we will no longer have to loose many important adult soldiers in combat. Don’t tell me this isn’t a great idea! Within months we will have one of the best armies in @@REGION@@!
[effect] 5 year old children in the army
[stats]civil rights increase

[option] ”These ideas are disgusting!” says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a child activist while looking at a group of children playing with @@ANIMAL@@. "Do you see those children? They are ment to play and to go to school they are not yet ready to work! We should increase increase funding for education and make it free for every child, think about the many educated children we will get in the near future! Ban Child labour, think about our children!"
[effect]universities are gettin overcrowded as education is free for all students
[stats]education becomes a better priority, economy stays the same, but economical freedom decreases, the population of @@NAME@@ becomes more intelligent.

Also, I can't really see what religion has to do with it

Personally I like the issue and if a Game Moderator or Salusa sees the issue and has his/her attention well and truly caught, then this issue will go through. As far as I see, it just needs cosmetic changes and maybe the options should be shorter. Trout farming should be replaced by @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@. The first sentence of the first option will have to be altered so that the land-owner isn't referred to as 'it.' :wink:

Personal opinions: The title could be a bit snappier... and some of the effects too maybe...

The issue editors will fix any spelling or grammatical errors so you shouldn't worry too much about it. Obviously it helps for it to be pretty damn well written though! :wink:

Yep, I agree. Do it! Doitdoitdoitdoit Do it nooow!!! :D

Although you forgot to put @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ in place of trout farming... and I think you should change 'for only 1 @@CURRENCY@@ cent a day.' to 'for less than one @@CURRENCY@@ a day.'
