Rates and improvements are surely welcome :)

Name: Pirate Police?
Description:
Though crime and certain anarchy reigns in and outside of @@NAME@@, a few groups of outlaws seem to present themselves as vigilantes that aid the few policing instances in your nation. Though criminals by law, it is believed they may be an asset to @@NAME@@'s future of becoming a stable nation once again.
Validity:
Because we're dealing with pirates or rogue gangs, it seems logical nations with a low amount of law obedience (bit above anarchy) and/or those with minimal funds for Law & Order. However, the UN might not be quite so happy with this.

[option]"This is an outrage!" exclaims @@RANDOMNAME@@, mayor and Head of Police of @@NAME@@'s capital. "You cannot surely enlist CRIMINALS into our nation's service to maintain order around here?! Biker gangs already make our streets unsafe, our harbours are practically run by pirates themselves, and we must fight back with every last bit of force we have!" General @@RANDOMNAME@@ seems to agree: "It's war out there. If anything, we need to teach this scum who really is in charge of this nation. If it'll have to take all funding to bring us victory, so will it be, but @@NAME@@ will be free of outlaws this week!"
[effect] a civil war between rivalling gangs and @@NAME@@'s army and law enforcement has been fought, a fragile peace has returned to this nation
[stats]Defense and Law & Order increase strongly at the expense of other government priorities, anarchy resolved, Civil Rights decreases, happiness decreases, Social Equality decreases strongly


[option]@@RANDOMNAME@@, leader of the 'Highway Marauders', a renowned biker gang, wishes to beg the differ: "Your Honour, though we act against what you call law, we do so because we fight for the rights of our nation's people. @@NAME@@ has always been a @@TYPE@@ with a history knowing its own Robin Hoods. The Marauders have already made peace with some police departments in some urban areas, and if we want the people to know peace as well, you must allow us to ally ourselves against these petty anarch' criminals."
[effect] the peace is kept by sometimes unruly but fair vigilantes and the local law enforcement, working together for a common cause in @@NAME@@'s blasted landscape
[stats]Law & Order increases strongly and the anarchy is resolved, Public Transport increases, Social Equality increases, Personal Freedom increases, Political Freedom decreases strongly, The Environment decreases strongly

[option]"Yarrrr," comments 'the Captain', leader of a sea-faring group of privateers known as the 'Scurvy @@ANIMAL@@s'. "I'd be seein' biker-boy's point, but the point is, @@NAME@@ just can't handle freedom an' peace - 'istory also taught us that." The Captain taps his hook on your desk. "We'll also strive to keep the peace 'ere, but we may need to... 'cull' a few landlubbers who can't seem to listen. Perhaps, should the peace return, we can aid @@NAME@@ in rebuilding itself if our crimes are off our rec'rds." "RAWK! POLLY WANTS A CRACKER!"
[effect] the high seas are ruled by local privateers and traders known as the 'Scurvy @@ANIMAL@@s', who have aided @@NAME@@ in more disastrous times
[stats]Law & Order decreases but anarchy is resolved, Personal Freedom increases, Economic Freedom increases, Gambling increases strongly, Commerce increases, Social Welfare decreases, Trout Fishing decreases strongly, Cheese Exports decrease strongly

[option]"Kill? For peace?!" Self-proclaimed philanthropist and pacifist @@RANDOMNAME@@ responds abhorred. "There is no necessairy evil here, I can tell you that! We need to act, I know, but not at the expense of human lifes. I propose non-lethal means of taking care of these hoodlums: sleep gas, tranquilizers, heavy punishment in terms of jails with zero fancy pleasures they enjoyed while they were free, and re-education programmes for these criminals. It will take us time, money and resources, but I can guarantee you that the best plan towards peace is by practicing peace, yourself!"
[effect] @@NAME@@'s law enforcement is known as particularly effective, while still using minimal violence and various non-lethal means to absolve their problems
[stats]Law & Order increases strongly, Social Equality increases, Education increases strongly, tax increases, Defense decreases strongly, Commerce decreases, Social Welfare decreases, Gambling decreases strongly, Economy decreases

You should add an 'economy decreases' to the fourth option's effects.

Hmm, yes, details are easily overlooked.
Thanks.

Best. Issue. Ever.

A :cool: emoticon will do just fine, then. Thanks.
:cool:

in validity you should write something like "valid to countries with high crime rate.
in all you options you should replace the stats with the effects, and decrease the amount of effects to something sensible with connection to the reality (how you increase the chease exports industry in issue about crime?).
the idea for the issue could be good, but your formal shape as too many problems.
I think you better improve this issue.

From what I see from nations fallen into anarchy, that's exactly what it means - high crime and little to no protection :)

That'll be edited, though I'll stay with the markets being affected by some of the choices. After all, sea-farin' pirates still roaming the seas has its effect on common trade, wouldn't you agree?
'Sides, should this even be considered by the administration, they'll tweak things themselves, as well, wouldn't you say?

Will do.

From what I see from nations fallen into anarchy, that's exactly what it means - high crime and little to no protection :) I think high crime rates will be enough, but anyway you should make it "valid for anarchis".

I don't think the effects on those markets will be big enough, so you can't write only the effect on the whole economy. anyway, it will be hard to get that connection, and I don't sure moderators like that.
'Sides, should this even be considered by the administration, they'll tweak things themselves, as well, wouldn't you sayread the FAQ to writing issues. if you wrong in the formal shaping, it will be enough to delete it.

Will do.fine.
