Title: Striker Strike!
Validity: Valid for nations were defense spending is above zero
Description: @@NAME@@ is facing Bigtopian fringe group invaders following a union strike of the @@NAME@@ Army Strikers, which composes about half of the army.
[option]"This is an outrage!" roars General of the Army @@RANDOMNAME@@. "We can't fight without troops! Strikes must be banned, and all offenders shall be shot!"
[effect]the military gives troops the choice of being shot by enemies or shot by superiors
[stats]civil rights down
[option]"Give us pay!" cries Chief Sergeant Major @@RANDOMNAME@@ from behind a picket line. "If the military wants to underpay us, we'll just strike! The invaders can wait!"
[effect]borders are ravaged with attacks from international fringe groups whenever the military feels like going on strike
[stats]happiness down, economy down, security down
[option]"Why don't we abolish strikes and pay soldiers on commission?" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, professor of economics at @@NAME@@ University. "Just pay each soldier a salary plus fifty @@CURRENCY@@s for every shot they fire and twenty-five currencies for every time they shout '@@SLOGAN@@' in the face of adversity. That ought to clear the problem up."
[effect]soldiers spend most of their time shooting bullets into trees while screaming the national motto
[stats]tax rate up, security down
[option]"You know", whispers @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Secret Service commander, "you could just let them strike all they want, and my boys will supply you with new troops. There'll have to be more training, yes, but 15-year-olds learn fast."
[effect]15-year-olds tend to dissapear from their homes at night whenever soldiers decide to strike
[stats]happiness down, civil rights down, defense spending up, security up, tax rate up, youth crime up
EDIT: I added another option and lengthened the first one. Does anyone have any ideas for positive stat changes for any of them?
