A new issue from the depths of obscurity. I will iron out the bugs soon and add stats, but for now it is up for debate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soda in Your Sleep? (Alternative: something containing Sweet Dreams)

In response to the constant decline in Soda Sales, the industry has developed the ASPREMS 4100, which they plan to use for the advertisement of their products in the dreams of @@NAME@@'s citizens. Their devices are near completion, and they are now asking for the government to aid in their causes.

Valid for all nations

[option]"Truth is, our current advertising systems don't work," claims BuzzCola CFO @@RANDOMNAME@@ between sips of his company's beverage. "While people have found ways to circumvent all of our other ads, they'll never be able to find a way to stop our newest scheme. They'll literally be dreaming about our products!"
[effect]soda is now the most popular breakfast beverage

[option]"This is a horrendous violation of moral decency!" decries @@RANDOMNAME@@ on behalf of the @@NAME@@ Centre for the Promotion of the Arts. "Dreams have led the hard-working people of @@NAME@@ to our current position, and harbouring their capability for the good of a single person is immoral. We inspire the loving citizens of @@NAME@@ to take pride in their great ability to dream!"
[effect]the government encourages citizens to stick to their dreams

[option]Just then, the nation's most famous narcoleptic busts through the door. "Just let us sleeeep, m-kay?" he shouts. "I don't neeeed no stinkin' soda. In fact," He cuts off his sentence at that moment to go into a deep doze, taking no regard of the lead cap that has fallen off his head. Examining it, you find that it reads "ASPREMS 4100 Prevention Mechanism".
[effect]the soda industry constantly blows millions of @@CURRENCY@@s on new advertising schemes every year

How does the ASPREMS 4100 work :?: Do the soda representatives have to break into houses and affix it the the dreamers' heads :?:

A random issue, and you got BuzzCola from the Simpsons

:?

I thought I saw that from somewhere. I was really tired when I wrote the issue and couldn't think of anything else. Nevermind it, just let this thread die.

Why? It's a good issue, and I like the Futuramma refrence...

Hmm... interesting.

First, I would adjust your Valid field, making it not valid for any nation where Soda Pop Industry is the major-industry.

Option 1) Stats) Civil rights likely down, IT up, Soda up, health down

Option 2) Er... no idea what this would do. It's sorta like dismissing the option. Probably an alternative option to the device, perhaps promotion of the arts, or the like.

Option 3) Option doesn't really match your effect, but the stats would likely involve industry dropping, soda sales dropping, and similar stuff.

I like his version of the issue, the original posting author i mean

I still want to know how this works. It would affect the issue.
