OOC: Yeh i need the restore democracy issue too! My country's stuck as a bloody dictatorship and it's annoying! Does anyone know how to make issues come up or anything like that? Because my description still says im ruled by the department of defence and don't care about social welfare. Damn issues :x

OOC: Welcome to my world Technocracia, although I'm getting the social caring thing happening...

OOC: Yay, I'm an election issue. Go me. 8)

OOC: The results are about what I expected.
Just repeating; does anyone know if it's possible to request issues, or do we just sit around hoping in vain that the one we're after pops up?
