What does this issue do? Or rather, what do the respective OPTIONS do for the country. I just cant think of what of the three things your country has would be effected by it. Thanks!!!

International Community Comes Doorknocking
The Issue

The international community has appealed to Qlestine to increase humanitarian aid to the world's poorer nations.
The Debate

1. "We must increase foreign aid," says beaded local peace activist Al Chicago. "Compared to some of these nations, Qlestine is swimming in qlavadollars. Let's face it, not every nation in the world is lucky enough to have a government like ours. Let's show some compassion to our less economically gifted neighbors."
[Accept]

2. "Talk about a way to flush qlavadollars straight down the toilet," argues Think Tank member Billy Christmas. "What I've noticed is that whenever we do give something, it's never enough: a few years later they're back asking for more. The best way to help these poor nations is to stop shielding them from the logical consequences of their idiotic, long-debunked socialist economic policies."
[Accept]

3. "Relief wouldn't hurt us... if we 'relieved' the right countries," suggests government advisor Colin Jefferson. "We give them a little humanitarian aid, they give us access to their Woodchip Exports markets... it's win-win. Nothing wrong with a little quid pro quo, especially for a good cause."
[Accept]

Firstly, the issues don't just affect civil rights, political freedoms, and the economy. There's a list of different things that can be affected in one of the stickies in this forum.
In that issue, the third option clearly affects the economy. Not sure about the other two.

For some help, these are the descriptive results to each choice
Choose #1 = the nation has an international reputation for compassion
Choose #2 = the nation refuses to provide international aid
Choose #3 = the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid.

It's up to you to guess what changes they're *actually* describing in your nation. :p
