The Story So Far

The problems in Brasilistan were mounting daily. So, when push came to shove, an advisor told you to just take it over. And you did.

The Issue

The dust has settled and, somehow, Kazaii is now the proud owner of a new colony! There are still some teething issues, however, and there are some cultural and societal conflicts between settlers and native peoples. It's up to you on how best to resolve these issues.

The Debate
Option 1 good choice
"Obviously we need to remove the settlers", Jacob Arthur, Chairperson of the Kazaii Council of Immigration Studies says frankly. "Pulling out completely and leaving the remaining populace to their own devices, however, would be detrimental and irresponsible. Ideally what needs to be done is to make Brasilistan a full part of Kazaii, and give the remaining Brasilistanis full citizenship. We'd all be part of the same country, with the same citizenship, and the same rights and responsibilities."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

"Woah, hold on there, that's way too drastic, and way too fast", your Interior Minister chuckles. "That's not going to solve the issues they're facing today over there right now. We need to come up with some sort of initiative that slowly integrates the Brasilistanis into our culture. You should appoint panels of arbiters consisting of international experts to broker agreements between settlers and natives where necessary too. It'll work, definitely. Probably."

Accept

"It's our land now", your energy advisor says quietly. "It's ours. Our own. Our precious. Eh, where was I … oh yes, Brasilistan. Look, there's not that many Brasilistani left, let's just give them the useless pockets of land. Like those on mountain slopes or in bogland. All oil-rich and arable lands can be kept for ourselves. Sure, it's a little like segregation, but at least everyone will be happy, right?"

Accept

"All these options are valid, to be sure, but I have an easier way of settling this", Rebecca Mombota, head of the nation's nuclear program says in a matter-of-fact tone. "Can we please just nuke the place? Get our own guys out first, obviously but then just nuke it. We don't need a colony, but we do need a nuclear testing site. Our own citizens here are getting annoyed we're destroying good land in Kazaii when there's a perfectly good dump in the form of Brasilistan."

Accept

The Government Position

The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 1.
