Title: ID Idea

Description: After the nations radical desicion to ID-tag every citizen in @@NAME@@, a debate has stirred up if the system is worth it.

Validity: Only valid for countries with ID-tracking system ( option 3 in #21 )

Options:

[option]" Look at these figures," says angry government accountant @@RANDOMNAME@@. "It costed us several million @@CURRENCY@@s tointroduce this system, and it will cost several millions to keep it up and going. And what do we gain for that? Nothing! False ID-cards can be bought for five or six @@CURRECY@@s! And peronally, I'm getting pretty fed up with thses police roadblocks on the way to work."
[effect]the much-debated ID-card system has been abolished
[stats]happiness increases a bit, crime increases, personal freedoms increases much,police spending decreases

[option]"I agree that something has to be done," says @@Police Minister @@RANDOMNAME@@"but we can't throw this system away now that we got it up and going. I think that making the ID-cards harder to forge is the right solution to this problem. It might cost us another million @@CURRENCY@@s, but what don't we do to stop crime?"
[effect]The government is currently updating the country's ID-cards for tremendous sums
[stats]personal freedoms decreases, police spending increases, crime decreases

[option]"Hey, what about us?"shouts @@RANDOMNAME@@, CEO of Soybeans largest Soda Sales Company. "I think corporations has to benefit to this somehow. Why can't we have those ID-databanks, so that we can send commersials directly designed to the receivers? That would be swell for the economy!"
[effect]huge corporations use secret ID-databases to send commerisals especially designed for the receivers
[stats]personal freedoms decreases much, economy increases much

That looks great! Go for it! :) I'd emphasise more on how crime will increase if you abolish the system in the first option though.
