Well here it is, comments or suggestions?

[title]Weasels or Wrenches?

[description]Both the National University and Consolidated Weasel Inc. want the same patch of forest south of the capital.

[option]"It should be obvious to you that we have the best proposition," claims Consolidated Weasel Representative @@@randomname@@@. "Our plant will make your nation the largest weasel processor in @@@regionname@@@. It will make everyone richer, happier, and fuller after eating the Weasel Jerky™ that we plan to make. Besides, why would you trust your car to a college student?"
[effect]weasel jerky™ is now the snack of choice across the nation
[stats]economy increases, beef-based agriculture increases, tax rate drops 1%, pollution increases

[option]"The training of our young minds is more important than any benefit gained from some stupid weasels," states Professor Emeritus @@@randomname@@@ of your National University. "The Mechanics School that we will build will keep everyone's cars running smoothly as well as giving youth that work with their hands rather than their minds a chance at a brighter future. Not only that, but we could probably talk a few car companies into setting up here."
[effect]students from the national mechanics school have taken to repairing random cars at stoplights
[stats]automobile industry increases, youth crime decreases, agriculture decreases

[option]"Frankly, I hate college students," comments Little Old Lady @@@randomname@@@. "Why, when I was their age, there was no such thing as college, and most of us still managed to get our IQs up to 2 digits. What a waste of my hard-earned retirement savings!"
[effect]all colleges have been banned
[stats]tax rate greatly decreases, youth crime increases, political freedom decreases, civil rights decreases

[option]"Feh," says Archdruid @@@randomname@@@. "This land should remain uncluttered as it has been for centuries. Let nature take its own, and let both the weasels and mechanics go take a hike."
[effect]a cult of local druids is spearheading a revival in the @@@animalname@@@ population
[stats]pollution decreases, national animal increases (frolics in lush forests)

...and introductory description.

"students from the national mechanics school have taken to repairing random cars at stoplights" made me laugh, though.

Since National Universities rarely "stoop so low" as to have Mechanic Schools, I recommend the following change:

---------------------------------------------------------------
<snip>
[description]Both @@NAME@@ Polytechnic College and Consolidated Weasel Inc. want the same patch of forest south of the capital.

[option]"The training of our young minds is more important than any benefit gained from some stupid weasels," states Professor @@@randomname@@@ of @@NAME@@ Polytechnic College. "The Mechanics School that we will build will keep everyone's cars running smoothly as well as giving youth that work with their hands rather than their minds a chance at a brighter future. Not only that, but we could probably talk a few car companies into setting up here."

Another change, to get rid of conflict-of-sex troubles:

---------------------------------------------------------------
[option]"Frankly, I hate college students," comments Agéd Curmudgeon @@@randomname@@@. "Why, when I was their age, there was no such thing as college, and most of us still managed to get our IQs up to 2 digits. What a waste of my hard-earned retirement savings!"
[effect]all colleges have been banned
[stats]tax rate greatly decreases, youth crime increases, political freedom decreases, civil rights decreases
---------------------------------------------------------------

Hope that helps. :)
