Issue #:1457
[...] your Census Director runs up to you in the parking lot, shouting that large numbers of people are putting false information on their census forms.
Option 1: “Orange Alert, X! We have a Level 3 census emergency!” Your confused look gives him pause. “Did you not memorize the color-coded Demographics Alert System that I sent you? Our census has a question about religious affiliation, but far too many people aren’t taking it seriously. [...]"
