What a superb topic.. I love the idea


Full speed ahead

Best of luck to you thats a good issue

I agree, it is a very good issue. Nice one.

How about an option where the government takes control of videogame output and enforces what is made.

Stats could be decrease in civil rights and economy.

Effect: The government has taken control of the videogame industry.

I added a new option. so, when can this be accepted.

Why does the subsidizing of the video game industry lower the nation's health?

This issue can be accepted when you submit it (link in my signature) and the mods like it.

It's a great idea for an issue, but the style and structure needs much more work.

Replace the guy in the third issue with a whiny teenager who, like, says dude a lot. You should also make the options larger and the effects worse.

It's a unique idea, unlike many other issues. I like it.

(Why do we need both "Bring Back the Ballot", "Power to the People", and "People Request Not So Much Dictatorship, If That's All Right"? They're all practically the same!)

Well the more options for raising (or lowering) a particular freedom, the better.
