Stats are the way the issues affect your nation and Validity is who receives and does not recieve the issue

How about validity being that if you have interegrated them, and their language then they wouldn't try and kll you?

And how about a really radical 3rd option, like an anarchist telling you to nuke the city so everyone moves into towns?

Hard to see how it could get more radical... :shock:

[vague rambling]

I'm not sure how the nuke-the-city-ourselves option would be implementable just in stats. A big hit to economy, certainly; if the government is willing to nuke its own capital with all the people inside (and why hasn't an evacuation of the city been tried?), an automatic UN Category adjustment to "Psychotic Dictatorship" would probably be the most realistic thing -- is that even possible without altering issue mechanics?

It's an intriguing scenario, but it seems like it might be a bit too far out in left field to work very well as an issue, even given the NS propensity toward extreme issues. That's just me, though...

What are the terrorist's demands?

I have to ask this, see, because I'm not sure who I'm supporting yet.

Altitude you are missing an option i think, i mean, shouldn't there be an option where you give into the terrorists demands.

I mean some people don't want a bloodbath, :)

Yes but there isn't a Bigtopian bloke rambling on about civil rights and human rights marches.
