Description:
After the @@REGION@@ Science Price Ceremony, several important scientists of @@NAME@@ has complained,
meaning that they don't recieve enough acknowledgment in the world of science.

[option]"Oh, come on, stop whining," says winner of the Chemistry Price @@RANDOMNAME@@. "You didn't discover hetrovariable differences, like I did, therefore, you don't deserve this price. If you reached a higher level of science, you would also win awards. Until then, you'll just have to face it- we are better than you."
[effect]the countries scientists are regulary insulted by foreign scientists
[stats]

[option]"That puffed-up no-good self-rightgeous idiot of a scientist thinks he's so smart," says inventor @@RANDOMNAME@@. "But who in @@REGION@@ will ever gain of his discovery? The only good discoveries are those who normal people can benefit from! Like my banana-peeler, for example. Lots and lots of people like it, but do I get prices? Heck no! I think we should ignore foreign science and have an own science price."
[effect]the new @@NAME@@ Science Price Ceremony is the most honorable price in the country
[stats]

[option]"No, no, my dear friend," says microbiologist @@RANDOMNAME@@."The problem lies with us, I'm afraid. The government must do all it can to support our work, so that we also can climb the international ladder of science. In other words, give us lots of funds."
[effect]the government hand out huge sums of money to scientists
[stats]

[option]"Sons and daughters, calm yourselfs" whispers @@RANDOMNAME@@, @@NAME@@'s most popular priest. "It is right by you to seek the answers of the universe, but you have not yet understood. Only through God, you can find the answers. Science must step aside for religion."
[effect]thousands have left science to seek God
[stats]national devoutness increases

Interesting issue. Here are the suggestions you requested.

Option 1 effect- @@NAME@@'s scientists are often derided by foreign scientists

Option 1 stats- Economy decreases a bit, public apathy increases, happiness decreases, intelligence decreases.

Option 2 stats- Education funding increases a bit public apathy decreases, happiness increases a bit, intelligence decreases a bit, tax rate increases a little, devoutness increases, government size increases

Option 3 stats- Economy increases, education funding increses, health funding increases, book publishing sector increases, information technology sector increases, uranium mining sector increases, general mining increases, public apathy decreases, intelligence increases, environment deteriorates, tax rate increases, government size increases

Option 4 stats- Economy decreases significantly, education funding decreases, health funding decreases, religion and spirituality increases significantly, information technology sector decreases, uranium mining decreases, general mining decreases, public apathy increases significantly, intelligence decreases significantly, environment improves, tax rate decreases, government size decreases.

Also, bear in mind that not every religion is monotheist.

Thanks for the feedback. I now about the monotheism, but Nation States-issues uses "God", so so do I. Good stats, anybody disagree, or I'll send it in.

I like it, it's good :D but for validity mention not for people that banned genetic science because otherwise it sounds a bit strange
