I want some people to come up with issues for my country...

...I'm posting this here so it will actually get read, plus it is suitable for this board in the sense that it's a RL request (it just happens to be about an RP topic).

I want people to pretend to be citizens of Multiland and come up with issues that my country has to deal with (such as 14-ambulances waiting outside a hopsital, etc). I know NS does that automatically, but frankly it's getting boring. I've actually resorted to looking for more realistic RP games.

suddenly a group of aliens lands in the middle of your capital city. one has 4 eyes and a sideways moustache, the second has 8 eyes and eight legs and is wearing a wolverhampton wonderers shirt, the third has many tentacles and only one eye but drools constantly. they ask to meet your world leaders on the condition that they bring baileys flavoured haagen-daas and a tin of maple syrup along with a vhs set of the best of Rainbow and the heads of all the turkeys in the world on 24 hours notice or they will destroy the world using a device they have already demonstated destroying a large mountain range..... what do you do? (i can't be arsed making up options, use your imagination!)

I don't mind making up options, I just want some pretend citizens to give me issues and reactions to my responses to said issues.

As they seem hostile (plus we can't provide genuine "haagen-daas", we're a vegan country, though we have some lovely dairy-free ice-cream), the Leadership is sending in the Elite Multiland Protection Service (MPS) to capture them.

Citizens are advised to remain indoors and stay tuned to a TV set or radio in the meantime.

As a citizen of your country, I value my personal property rights, and am somewhat irrationally paranoid over my personal safety and that of my family, in addition to my home. I have burglar alarms installed that alert the police station of breakins immediately, but police never respond quickly enough. I implore the government to grant me permission to install landmines in my yard to deter trespassers.

"Help!" Cries Ima Madeup into her cellphone. "A group of armed Neo-Nazis has taken over your largest city and declares it their own. The police are overwhelmed, and for all intents and purposes cannot take back the city. They cannot be reasoned with, and have vowed to shoot 500 hostages, including me, if their demands are not met. SAVE US!"

Due to Multiland Law, such death traps can not be allowed.

The police aim to attend 100% of Grade A emergency calls within one minute. The Leadership has launched a campaign to attract more officers, and there are Street Wardens in every city, who are trained in a similar way to the police. Every citizen also has the same Powers of Arrest as the police (with limited exceptions for just a few crimes - burglary is not one of those though) and all Multiland Citizens are offered self-defence training.

The Leadership has sent in the Multiland Protection Service. Helicopters are now circling the city, ready to shoot down the Neo-Nazis if necessary.

Meanwhile, other MPS officers have captured all the aliens and are attempting to communicate telepathically.

here's one:
Subsidize crops that haven't been doing well.
use that money to create public works in the area like TVA
no government aid to the struggling farmers

What's the TVA?

Anyway, all the crops in the country are doing well, no need for subsidies. And it seems a bit strange you say to subsidise crops that haven't been doing well (throw money into them - or rather, at the farmers) but not to give aid to struggling farmers. Anyway, all Multiland Citizens, subject to strict requirements, get State Benefits anyway if they are in need of them.

The Tennessee (sp?) Valley thingy, with the hoover dam and all.

Although the public works one would be, surprisingly, the PWA.




Anyway, as a citizen of your fair land, I would like to ask that cats be banned in all public places, due to my general allergies towards them, and the fact that I don't really like cats. I'm a people person, not a cat person. Sort it out.

Tis a vegan country. Tis also big on telepathy. Just send an image of you sneezing to cats. Most will stay away. Any that deliberately go near you (in close enough range to cause an allergic reaction) will be arrested.

I hope they're rehabilitated to become productive members of society, rather than just locked up.

Correct. We try not to imprison people for what are considered "minor" crimes (deliberately making someone sneeze, grafitti, etc). Saves space for the sickos.

The Neo-Nazis have all been arrested. Forgot to mention it :)

As for the aliens, they've agreed to live peacefully alongside us after the MPS gave them a glimpse of what we are capable of by using telekineses to throw a few of them into a brick wall.

Everyone gets sent to an Underground Emergency Shelter that none of the citizens knew existed until they had to use them, then the floods are pumped as much as possible and the electricity supplies repaired, before other damages are dealt with.

We have interrogated the journalist and discovered he was to blame. An antidote has been created and the chickens have returned to their former human selves. The journalist has been dismissed from his job and imprisoned for 5 years under the following Act:

3. Harm None Act

1 Person A must not do anything which is likely to harm, or which does harm, Person B. The PENALTY is TO BE DECIDED BY THE JURY, unless a sentence has already been proscribed under another Act, in which case the sentence under the other Act must be given.

JUSTIFICATION:
This Act has been implemented in attempt to avoid too much legislation, as a large amount of legislation may be difficult to remember. It is expected that persons will use their common sense when deciding whether something is likely to harm another person. It is also expected that the jury will use their common sentence when deciding what sentence to give an offender under this Act, taking into account whether it is reasonable to assume that the offender would have been likely to know that the thing that they did was likely to harm another person. This Act is also to provide for unforeseen potential situations

An outbreak of explosive diarrhea has overtaken the country. Everybody within Multiland has it. They can hardly get any work done, because they have to run to the toilets every 10 minutes. Domestic supplies of anti-diarrheal medications are nearly running out as they can't be manufactured quickly enough. Your economy is tanking. What do you do?

My name is Ivan Rochester, I was a economically well off citizen until the Vegan amendments destroyed the income I recieved from my cattle ranches, and due to the nature of the land- vegatables could not be planted there instead. I, and the rest of the cattle ranchers union are suing the government for

A. compensation for lost profits
B. The government purchase of unsellable land at a fair price.
C. The Government grant capital to invest in other business

The total amount comes to a demanded 12bn in compensation

Sh*t. This is a good one. Tempoararily, we are using part of our Emergency Fund to pay for more supplies. The Leadership is debating the issue.

Their Propaganda Minister goes on TV and says "Citizens of Multiland, we want our own land. We've seized a 3-months' supply of Pepto-Bismol for the residents of Uniland, the country we are forming in the northern part of Multiland. Give us what we want and we might be persuaded to share it with you."

Search parties have been hastily arranged to try to find the women. Patrols are being station around the borders of the island and all travel to and from the country has been banned.

The Emergency Bomb Shield* has also been activated to contain citizens whilst some search parties look around the outside for the missing women.

Local and National TV and radio stations have been ordered by the Leadership to provide details of the situation.

*A set of special devices made from bomb-proof material which can be activated to cover the majority of the island in the event of an attack.
