Self-ruin

Following the ban on cars, a criminal alliance dominated by Olympic-class sprinters has sprung up, resulting in hundreds of running footwear shops being robbed. Self-Ruin's police force has requested that they be allowed to ride Autothysian Ants as a substitute for their inability to chase these athletic thugs on foot.

Hahahahahaha, my little ant riding police!

The Bare-It-All Sunny Nation of Siuts

Siuts wrote:Today I received the 'Apotheosis' issue. Apparently, I can declare myself a god. Does any of you know what the different options do to my economy, civil and political freedoms? Also.., does this issue mean I can choose/erect a National religion/church? Tnx.
The Issue
A period of unprecedented peace and prosperity in Siuts has seen your personal approval rate sky-rocket. Recently, a small but growing movement has emerged claiming that these general good times are the result of your divine favour, and are advocating that the people worship you as a god.
The Debate
"All hail the glorious His Royal Highness King Theo I, giver of safety and wealth!" shouts Thomas Mistletoe, the Prefect of the Cult of Divine Nationalism from atop a wooden crate in Thebecos Grand Plaza. "Are not the might and benevolence of the holy His Royal Highness King Theo I manifest for all to see? Should we not respond in humble worship? Proclaim your divinity before all, O Great One, and your people shall listen!"
"This is heresy!" pontificates Agnes Clinton, a high-ranking clergywoman of a major religion, while proffering a collection plate. "Surely you can't seriously be entertaining delusions of divinity? You would undoubtedly bring divine wrath upon us! I urge you, speak out against these wayward souls and endorse the teachings of our holy writ as the true path to righteousness. Only then can we be assured of continued providence."
"Let's not be too hasty now, there may be an opportunity in this," muses Akira Suzuki, one of your shrewdest political advisors. "Of course you're not divine, we both know that, but is there really any harm in letting these whack-jobs think you are? Nothing begets obedience like the command of one's god, after all. Perhaps a carefully constructed public statement is in order, one that gives legitimacy to these people's beliefs while avoiding claiming divinity outright. Let people read into it what they want, and if they flock to this 'religion' in droves, well, would it really be so terrible if a large percentage of Siutsians became your devoted disciples?"
"Bah! Ridiculous gobbledygook, all of it!" says Jessica Leach, controversial atheist author of the book 'Atoms in Space and Relations Between Them - An Exhaustive Account of Existence'. "These cultists are no crazier than any other religious types, and have done far less damage than some I might mention. Take this opportunity to disavow all religion as superstitious nonsense, and throw your support behind reason instead. It's the perfect opportunity to end the tax breaks for people with imaginary friends, and funnel that additional money into the areas it can do some real good, like authors of popular science books!"
"All hail our glorious His Royal Highness King Theo I... or face eternal punishment!" shouts a wide-eyed bearded man in sack cloth waving a greasy tract. "Pay no heed to these sectarians, my liege, they have departed from the way of truth! Only we, of the Cult of Nationalist Divinity, have remained faithful in the face of their slanderous impiety. We know you to be an uncompromising and demanding god, intolerant of all false doctrine. We stand ready to convert the masses to your worship, by force if necessary! Starting, of course, with the insufferable heretics of the Cult of Divine Nationalism!"

Impatient as I am, I declared myself god today by the powers vested in me by.... well..., me of course :P

The Issue

A recently released book authored by Sarah Sparkle, your former Human Services Minister, has highlighted the financial and mental health concerns of parents in United Tribes UT. The book has thrust the issue of childcare back into the public spotlight.

The Debate

"I don't know how much more I can take without government support," complains a visibly stressed out mother while desperately trying to console her screaming child. "Between working two jobs and raising a child, I don't know how I'm managing to hold it together. The government needs to start getting involved before there are mass mental breakdowns! If you gave parents a tax credit and invest in some mental health initiatives, it would really help. Oh, won't somebody please think of the children?"

Accept

"The problem is that these fathers and mothers obviously have no idea how to do their job," counters your Education Minister while raising her voice over the tantrum-throwing toddler. "Parents need to understand budgeting, stress management, and how to calm down screaming infants. I propose mandatory parenting classes for adults and teenagers alike. The government could then take away children from those who fail the testing. Sure, that would mean investing more in the education budget, but won't you please think of the children?"

Accept

"You are all missing the obvious solution," coos your incredibly mature sixteen-year-old niece as she calms down the crying infant. "What United Tribes UT needs is a national babysitting and nanny program. Parents obviously need a break from the stresses of child-rearing, and people need to know that their lives aren't going to be interrupted by screaming kids. By enlisting the help of babysitters and nannies across the country, along with investments in daycare and childcare programs, this problem will be a thing of the past." Your niece hands you the baby. "Isn't he adorable?"

Accept

"No, no, and no!" exclaims your Finance Minister, who has recently been named United Tribes UT's most eligible bachelor by Bonjour Magazine. "Why should my taxes have to pay for someone else's bratty kids? I'm already paying over and above for these social programs that are obviously not working. Let's get rid of whatever childcare programs we have and save ourselves a bundle of Rooks. If you can't afford to have kids, then don't have them."

Accept

"They have it all wrong!" invokes controversial pastor Buy McGuffin, who is infamous for his misogynistic rants. "The problem is because we have strayed from our religious teachings. Allowing women to work and neglect their children is only a stepping stone to them murdering their children through abortion and contraception. Murderesses! We could nip this issue in the bud if the wives of United Tribes UT were in their proper place – their kitchens. We must return to our traditional values!"

Accept

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.
