Hello,

Basically, I think there should be more issues to primarily affect the economy of a nation. I'm more in the WA side than issues but I decided to come up with a loose draft which is about the nation's currency. I would appreciate help on expanding my first attempt:

@@CURRENCY@@ struggles against foreign neighbours

A new report by @@NAME@@'s central bank show that the @@CURRENCY@@ isn't buying much foreign currency as it normally would and there are calls for action to be taken.

Validity: only applicable to nations with currency exchange rates up to 1.5 units per NS Dollar

Option 1: A citizen had to cancel his holiday because of the weakening currency. He calls for the currency to be artificially set. The effect would be that the economy strength and the would rise a bit, but economic freedoms and Tourism would fall a bit.

Option 2: Your finance minister thinks the weakness is due to lack of precious metal backing. He wants you to start mining for precious metals. This would increase the economy and the Uranium Mining industry significantly, but at the peril of the environment and tourism.

Option 3: The head of your tourism board thinks a weak currency would be good for the tourism industry and asks you to reduce the amount precious metal backing ion the currency. This decreases the economy but economic freedoms and the tourism industry would increase greatly.

Option 4: Finally, there's a local yokel who thinks it would be better if you print more money so everyone could get rich instantly. This will decrease the economy greatly, but tourism would sky-rocket.
