Does anyone know how exactly the third option will affect my nation?

The Issue
A group of concerned parishioners and soccer moms has petitioned the government of Freeshire to outlaw heavy metal music, which they fear is a bad influence on youngsters.

The Debate
"Heavy metal music is a plague in our good nation and its God-fearing people!" argues local priest and easy listening advocate Sue-Ann Bush. "Just the other day, I heard a song by some group called Hell's Irate Puppies with a sinful quantity of bass and drum... oh, and there were probably some lines about killing parents, too, I'd imagine! It's vital that we ban this music, and remove this terrible influence from our children's lives! Think of the children!"
[Accept]


"Whoa, man... what's with the, like, censorship and stuff?" asks Elizabeth Nagasawa, scruffy-haired bassist of the popular speed metal band The Destroyinators. "You can't, like, censor the music, man. That's how we express ourselves! Every bass beat is me baring my soul! Every howl is me complainin' about how my parents tried to kick me out of their basement! Besides, what's wrong with Satan? He's just misunderstood anyway. I say promote the arts, man!"
[Accept]


"You know, this heavy metal issue has me thinking," says Dave Summers, your brother, over your weekly game of cribbage. "If these long-haired freaks want to put out their devil-worshipping metal, why don't we let them? Of course, we'll put a little subliminal propoganda into every song... after all, don't these guys owe their freedom of expression to you?"

Number 3 logical guesses-

Increase government size and corrupt it more, probably help polictal freedoms, and hurt civil rights a little.

Putting subliminal messages in music to say how great the government is will help raise Political freedoms. It will also make the government more corrupt, but oh well.

More money too! Who needs taxes when:

angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason.
