Does your nation's name, animal, or what have you result in some very strange texts? It does? Good! Post your best examples here so everyone can laugh at them (and possibly you). For example, my currency is the international standard and my national animal is the human. Today I was looking over some issues and decided that this was too good to keep to myself:
The Math Decides:
Humans on the Dinner Table?
The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for The Math's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that humans could be added to the menu.
The Debate
"The fact is, the human population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Calvin Frederickson. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have human kebabs, human pies, human-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
[Accept]
"I agree that something needs to be done about human over-population," says random passer-by Sue-Ann Barry, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
[Accept]
"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Faith Licorish. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The humans were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The human is part of what makes The Math a great nation!"
[Accept]
National animal: three-eyed squid
Effect of one issue: "three-eyed squids with strange deformations like three eyes and tentacles are seen prancing about in the vicinity of @@NAME@@'s dumps..." Wow, those are deformities? Never would have thought it.
Currency: dariss
"Are we prepared to sacrifice Mother Earth for the sake of a few extra darisss?" yells Brother Sue-Ann Mombota. Three S's in a row, and a Brother with a very, er, unusual name! :D
National animal: shark
"Its national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests..."Really?
Currency: human
"Who cares about a few trees, gas prices are six humans a gallon, and rising!" says Violet Rifkin...Please. Gas isn't that expensive where I come from!
National animal: devil
"Devils on the Dinner Table?"
"...says Native Vrikstokite Chief Dances-with-devils..."
"[Devils] are all good, sweet creatures deep down!"You get to feel sort of sorry for the poor things. Their evil-ness isn't nearly appreciated enough.
National animal: tiger moth
After several incidents of tiger moths attacking and, in one case, seriously injuring owners...
LOL. I'd like to see that. ;)
Yes I do have a lot of puppets...with random currencies & animals... and I make random issue choices... once I ended up with "Elections have been outlawed and voting is compulsory."
God I love this game...
Previously I had a mod that I'm not going to mention as my national animal. When the *mods name* on the dinner table issue came up I had quite a laugh for sometime. The possibilities of things in this game amuse me to no end
Cash for Colons?
The Issue
Hospitals have requested that they be allowed to pay people for donating blood and other bodily organs, such as kidneys.
The Debate
1. "We remain critically short of blood plasma and various organs," says Validar One hospital administrator Steffan Utopia. "Especially hearts. A good heart is hard to find. But if we were allowed to pay for donations, we'd get more of them and could save more lives. Plus the donor takes home a few hundred towels in compensation. Unless it's a post-mortem donation, of course. In that case we'd pay the family."
2. "Great idea," says social commentator Jazz Longfellow. "Except for one thing. You know who's going to be selling their organs? Poor people! They'll be so desperate for money that they'll sell their own kidneys. Well, a kidney. This is just another way for the rich to buy themselves a better life at the expense of the poor. It must be outlawed."Bolded the important bit there. My nation's currency is the towel. I just got the mental image of someone pressing towels to their body to stop the blood or something. :rolleyes:

Best thing you can do is eat the humans, then outlaw cannibalism!
