(If this has already been suggested or is already being done, please feel free to let me know and/or delete this topic. I apologize if it has, I've only been here a little while)
I've been thinking, and wondering if it was even possible to have follow up issues.

What I mean is, say you get this issue (this is one of my first ones, which I e-mailed my friends because it was so humorous to me due to my national animal choice, but it's a good example for what I'm talking about):

The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Jedi Women's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that coconuts could be added to the menu.

The Debate
"The fact is, the coconut population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Hack Shiomi. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have coconut kebabs, coconut pies, coconut-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."



"I agree that something needs to be done about coconut over-population," says random passer-by Johann Hamilton, "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."



"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Akira Shiomi. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The coconuts were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The coconut is part of what makes Jedi Women a great nation!"


Now say a person chooses to let people shoot, sell, and eat their national animal, wouldn't it be interesting if a month or so later they got another about their national animal becoming endangered or extinct?
Let me know what you think.

why are coconuts considered part of the meat-based industry? :p

Oh, yes, we do encourage follow-up issues and there're quite a few already in the game.

Yeah but there's quite a few issues on killing your national animal.

Thanks guys for letting me know.

And McCuba, it's because the game's not smart enough to adapt when your National animal is a coconut.
