A new issue I'm looking at submitting, but I'd like your feedback on it first. Any suggestions are most welcome...

************************************
Description: An assortment of Actors, Concerned Citizens, and other Interested Persons have suggested that @@NAME@@ should have it's own Film Industry.

Validity: Valid for all Nations with an economy "Good" or better.

[option]"Think of the possibilities!" says renowned actor @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Instead of being swamped by the culture of other Nations, we can express ourselves in the international arena, and everyone can enjoy the artistic quality of our Cinema!"
[effect]cinemas are packed with people wearing berets and turtleneck sweaters
[stats]economy increases, political freedoms increase, culture increases, productivity decreases

[option]"Screw all this Arty stuff" says Ash Tarantula, director of such films as 'Operation Kill Stuff' and 'Attack of the Bikini-clad Vampire Nazis'. "People want to see a film with lots of gunfire, blood, gratuitous sex, and a big explosion at the end. If we're going to have a film industry, that's what we should focus on."
[effect]every film produced in the nation is R-rated
[stats]education decreases, civil rights increase, happiness increases

[option]"There's no doubting that Film is a powerful medium" says Communication Minister @@RANDOMNAME@@. "That's why the Government needs to get involved and make sure that Films promote our point of view to the citizens and the world at large."
[effect]cinemas show propaganda films non-stop all day
[stats]political freedom decreases, patriotism increases

[options]"Haven't we got better things to spend our money on?" asks concerned citizen @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Like better equipment for our police? It's a bit hard to chase car thieves properly when they have to borrow helicopters from TV stations all the time."
[effect]Helicopter Gunships are used to chase stolen cars
[stats]crime decreases, taxes increase, civil rights decrease

Good Issue but you know you couldn't actually create a film "industry".

yeah, I'm aware of that... I might reword that part of it to "produce their own films."

Any other thoughts?
