NationStates Jolt Archive

Some ideas I just came up with,

Issues allowing/increasing/decreasing funding for space exploration.

Issue that asks which branch of your military will receive the most funding.

Issue asking if the government should restrict what farmers can/can't use on their fields due to environmental concerns.

More'll come eventually. Seeing how I've not been on nationstates in about.. oh, a long time now and had to start over again. LOL I'm not sure if these are yet issues to be delt with.

We've already got an issue about space exploration but the other two are still unique ideas. :)

yes the latter two are more specific I'd like seeing them.

That would be quite interesting. Military subdivisions would probably be along the lines of navy / air / army, and farming would be anything / limited chemicals only / nothing. The only problems I can see with military subdivisions is the benefits / disadvanatges arguments.

Well, for the military subdivisions issue.

The military is up in arms regarding the upcoming funding issue. They all wish to have the most money believing that theirs is the one most responsible for the safety of <country name>.

A: Army General Wespointer declares that wars are fought on the land, "Even if it starts someplace else, it's hand to hand that it comes down to in the end!"

B: "<country name> would be nothing without it's Air Force to protect it, after all whose going to watch out for the planes in the air if we don't have superior firepower?" exclaims the Air Marshall Wesley

C: "Forget that", Admiral Crisp yelled, "How would the planes get there without our carriers, and our Marines do the job that the army's too scared to! We need more battleships!"


The result could be that your nations known for it's <chosen branch> might.

There's a problem with the farmers use of pesticides on their crops.

A: "There should be a law, I don't mind a few worms in my food, and maggots are cute once you get to know them! No more pesticides!" Declared the naturalist extremists in their protect rally.

B: "Look", Charles Bank said, "We at the pesticide company need to make a living too. So who cares about a few <country's animal name> anyways? There's lots of them!"

C: Dr. Nolovelost said in his speech, "We should try an alternative, doing a natural method of providing the farmers with the predators of their pests instead of killing them off."

Option A could lead to your nation's farm community failing and possibly people starving. B could lead to your nations animal and various others as well, becoming extinct. C could lead to a nutrality of things really, giving way to your country having an increased tax rate for the provision of the predators.

Hmn, this could work. I really like this.

Perhaps one that let's you decide what kind of mech and techs you want....

What would the effect on stats be? It's not asking for more money to the military, just a reallocation. It doesn't seem like the issue would actually do anything.

This level of specificity just seems to me like the sort of thing that's usually handled in RP, since the game doesn't deal with militaries besides general defense spending and the occasional orbital death ray. :?

(I'd also note the lack of a "none of the above" option, such as issues with this kind of choice tend to have -- some protestor on the street calling for disarmament, or something)

Just my two zorkmids.

Read the submission guidelines before submitting. I really can't stand having to make all the little changes needed to make an issue usable.
