Validity: All nations
Issue: At the well esteemed **Name** Research Institute, a team of scientists, lead by Dr. **Random name** have come through with a new breakthrough technology. "This will radically alter the very definition of our species! Think about it, the possibilities for cybernetics are endless! A computer chip implant can enable you to learn astrophysics or whatever, an ocular implant can let you see in the dark, and other neat-o things! All we need is just a bit more funding.....and everyone benefits!
(Option) "Well this is a great idea!" says science fiction writer (Random name), gripping his armrests in excitement. "I can finally throw out those dusty old books and just buy a chip and -zip-, I know whatever I want. That and I can look cool with robotic limbs as I pummel muggers! What's there NOT to like? This is evolution."
(Effect) Taxes go up 3%, religion goes down, crime goes up, economy goes up.
(Option) "I for once agree with this nerd! Says Defense Minister (Random Name), playing with a toy tank. "However, lets keep it limited to governmental personnel, like soldiers, police, firefighters, that type of thing. That way, we have a leg up on all those criminals. Think about it, police officers who can bust through walls, engineers with textbook chips, Im drooling at this..."
(Effect) Taxes go up 2%, religion goes down, crime goes down, Law and Order and Defense spending go up. Civil liberties go down.
(Option) "Well Im NOT salivating, my musclebound friend!" Exclaims well respected religious leader (Random Name) as a hand pounds on your well-abused desk. This is a travesty and abomination! Every year science tries to change what we were created with. What was good in the past is good today. A strong pair of arms and legs, a keen mind, a noble heart. We dont need mechanical power to stay competitive with the rest of the world, we got SOUL power! Ban this mad science! Oh, and uh, the Church could use a few (currency) to help um, spread the word, yeah..."
(Effect)
Religion goes up, Civil liberties go down, crime stays the same, Law and Order stays the same. Taxes drop 1%
