1. The Police department proposes installing security cameras in public places - I refuse the proposal, I didn't even realise I had a police department, and I'm not about to let them spy on people. |
I let them, as they said, in public, people see you anyway. I would rather have my people being safe, than have them unseen and injured. I put it to a plebiscite (as I had already decided, on my advisors recommendation) and they agreed I had made the right choice.

2. Divorce rates are on the rise - I decide to make same-sex marriages legal, which will make that statistic rise for those who care about it, and abolish the fascist laws regarding homosexuality at the same. |
Nicely done, Akiria wholeheartedly commends your action.

3. Following a murder spree, a rival candidate has be gaining popularity off of people's emotions by campaigning for the death penalty - I, of course, will not stand for this manipulation of the people and will outlaw these sorts of politics, along with the death penalty. |
Likewise, a well thought out (if slightly unexpected) decision. I do not agree with denying the people what they want, but I do not believe my people would have chosen the death penulty without much coertion and scare tactics by an opponent.

4. Corporations ask to be able to donate money to political parties - The nerve! illegal corporations asking to be able to buy votes?  I refused this, ofcourse! |
I agree, buying votes is very much against democracy IMHO. I just wish the founders of NS believed so.

5. Someone asked for the laws against nudity to be repealed - I decide to make nudity compulsory, clothes are oppresive - just like the corporate-culture that created them!  |
Seems a little drastic to me. You would force your people to do away with clothes? Even people who feel upset about their bodies? Surely that will cause much depression, and it seems you arfe talking the place of corporations in this matter, in that you're forcing them into an action they may not want. I urge you to reconsider.
Overall, Akiria supports the decisions of Ubinia. However, we feel that your position on nudity went to far, and though we realise it is your decision, we urge you to reconsider.

I like this one because it mentions Apolyton- my region. Now who are the dictatorships in Apolyton?
The Issue
It's time for the government to allocate spending for the coming year, and as always, special interest groups are keen to have their say.
The Debate
"The state of the education system is, in many areas, simply frightful," says Teachers Union leader Pip Licorish. "And even where we are doing well, we could do better. I appeal to the authorities for a substantial boost in funding. Remember, the children are our future."
[Accept]
"We won't have a future unless we improve police numbers and rebuild the military," says General Dave King. "Oh, it's all well and good to have your fancy education and your nice cars, until some tinpot dictatorship decides to invade. And don't pretend like there aren't any of them in Apolyton. Our number one priority has to be security."
[Accept]
"Education is nice, but Health and Social Welfare are more important," says celebrity social worker Clint Dodinas. "This is where the people who really need government help are: the marginalized of our society. If we don't help them, what kind of a nation are we?"
[Accept]
"Hey, I've got a crazy idea," says noted libertarian and bird-watcher Buffy Falopian. "How about the government stops taking so much tax from people? Give us a tax cut and we'll buy the things we need ourselves. People need to be weaned off the government teat!"

Jedinica Vrijstaat Decides:
Humans on the Dinner Table?
Government Acts
The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Jedinica Vrijstaat'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 Colin McAlpin. "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."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"I agree that something needs to be done about human over-population," says random passer-by Fleur Christmas, "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 Buffy King. "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 Jedinica Vrijstaat a great nation!"

check this one out. This is an interesting one. Just for the hell of it I chose #4. Put taxes on meat  . It is still a libertarain thing to do, and it will help my economy . sucks to be poor though.
The increasingly militant Animal Liberation Front struck again last night, freeing dozens of chickens bound for delicious snack packs.
The Debate
"These nuts have got to be stopped," demands concerned consumer Al du Pont. "They need to face the fact people want snack packs, no matter how many innocent chickens must be sacrificed. Besides, chickens would do the same to us if they had the chance."
[Accept]
"These Liberationists are highlighting an important issue," pleads Jennifer McAlpin. "Too often, animals are put through needless cruelty, just to make their flesh taste a little more deliciously succulent. I'm sure we could ban the more horrific abuses without putting too much of a dent in our national obesity figures. Couldn't we?"
[Accept]
"Animals have feelings too!" yelled protestor Anne-Marie King, before being set upon by hungry passers-by. "Free the animals! Ban meat-eating!"
[Accept]
Economist Pip Falopian has an alternative. "You don't need to take away the people's right to choose. You just need to build the costs of animal suffering into the price. A tax on meat-eating, in proportion to the amount of cruelty involved, would do the trick. Plus think of the benefit for the national coffers! Of course, poor people wouldn't be able to afford meat, but that's just more incentive for them to get jobs."
