Also, are you talking about a puppet? The nation you posted with is not recorded as having answered either #1173 or #1595 recently.
EDIT: Nonetheless, I just spotted evidence (on Soviet Kat) that you may be onto something.

Yes this: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=mister_y
13 hours ago: Following new legislation in Mister Y, scientists have great chemistry with their subjects.
1 day ago: Following new legislation in Mister Y, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces".
Same has happened to Soviet Kat.

I haven't solved it either, but I do have a datum that might help someone find the solution. As far as I can remember, I have only received option 3 for fairly young nations. I don't think I've ever gotten it for a nation with a capital city, surely not one with enough population to get a custom pretitle. I have no idea how this might fit in with the text of the option - maybe it's just an accidental thing afflicting the kinds of puppets I tend to create. Still it might be an observation someone else could make sense out of (or refute, of course).

That is not what my research suggests.

Sometimes there were a significant number of other issues in between answering these two.

#1624 @@CAPITAL@@ Coffinrail [Aphobeathesi; ed: Candlewhisper Archive]
The Issue
@@CAPIPTAL@@’s railway system has come under fire recently after relatives were allowed to ship their deceased family member in a baggage car.
The Debate
1. “Surely you can’t object to what we did?” asks the dead @@MAN@@’s sibling, looking strangely at ease considering @@HIS@@ recent loss. “Our parents wanted her buried in the family plot back home... and that’s a fair trek by horse and cart. The government should stay out of our business and let dead people on trains! So what if I put her in a mail bag? Coffins aren’t cheap, you know.”
2. “You can’t let this happen,” weeps traumatized city worker @@RANDOMNAME@@, who wasn’t on that train, and who hasn’t actually ever been on a train. “It’s surely upsetting to be forced to witness death up-close! Not to mention it must smell horrible, and is probably unhygienic. You must ban the transport of corpses in trains used by the general public!”
3. “There’s always a compromise to be had,” whispers @@RANDOMNAME@@, your pallid Minister for Transportation, touching your shoulder softly as @@HE@@ leans to your ear. “Many people have good reasons to transport dead bodies from one place to another, but not everybody is as comfortable with them as you or I. So we simply fund a separate train system. A train for the dead — in funeral colours — headed for the final destination.”

#1625 At What Price? [Candlewhisper Archive; ed: Candlewhisper Archive]
The Issue
A recent trend has had journalists asking members of your cabinet mundane questions, like how much a carton of milk costs, to see if they are out of touch with everyday life.
The Debate
1. “I haven’t researched the exact figures, but I expect milk is expensive nowadays — certainly more than the poorest in society can afford,” prevaricates your Welfare Minister, dodging the question as usual. “That’s why we must commit to raising welfare payments for those in the lowest income brackets. Because we care.” @@HE@@ turns to the camera and gives @@HIS@@ best earnest-but-sympathetic look.
2. “Last I heard, milk prices are too low, probably. Definitely not enough to support our dairy farmers,” complains your Minister of Agriculture. “Supermarkets are underpaying powerless dairy farmers who can barely cover the cost of production. Regulation is needed for a fair minimum wholesale price. Let consumers and retailers carry the cost burden, not the milk producers!”
3. “I think milk is relatively cheap at point of delivery, but in terms of environmental externalities it costs far too much,” lectures your Environment Minister, who sources her oat-almond-mung bean mylk blend from a refill shop at 4 @@CURRENCY_PLURAL@@ per 100 grams of CO2. “Dairy herds, and animals in general, are hugely inefficient in kilojoule-per-hectare indices, and bovine burps produce a lot of greenhouse gases. We need to transition to pure arable farming, and pure veganism.”
4. “Oh, do you mean Damien Emin’s piece A Carton of Milk Left on the Counter Overnight?” enthuses your Culture Minister. “3.5 million @@CURRENCY_PLURAL@@ at auction, if I recall. You know, we ought to be subsidising art and artists more, to encourage more modern art of this quality. I mean sure, the milk stinks a bit, but only literally.”
5. “We’re missing the point here, which is that 92.5% of your ministers really are out of touch,” complains civil servant Vicky Pedia, who is a veritable goldmine of unverified statistics. “What you need is mandatory earpieces for every minister, with a fully staffed fact-finding team on call ready to relay them a perfect answer they need as soon as they get asked any tough question.”

#1626 Wiggle Room [West Barack and East Obama; ed: Westinor]
The Issue
A curious new weight loss fad has wormed its way into the world of fat slimming in @@NAME@@ — deliberate self-infection with tapeworms.
The Debate
1. “Tapeworm therapy is revolutionary!” exclaims @@RANDOM_NAME@@, one of the procurers of this peculiar slimming aid, whilst squirming in @@HIS@@ seat and clutching @@HIS@@ stomach. “These days, the disadvantaged amongst us just don’t have the time or money for balanced diets or physical exercise. But with some help from a little buddy in our tummies who can take in all the extra calories we consume, we can look beautiful once more. You should definitely promote these methods to the public! Of course, some people are going to develop a couple of... complications here and there, but what medicine doesn’t have side effects? Also, unrelated question: do you happen to know where the nearest toilet is?”
2. “Let’s not open this can of worms too hastily,” cautions @@RANDOM_NAME@@, a nerdy researcher from prominent pharmaceutical company Mhizer, as @@HE@@ flips through a thick clipboard containing colourful charts and coffee stains. “There’s been plenty of research into the risks and rewards of using tapeworms to lose weight, and there’s a pretty clear conclusion — it sucks, and we’re not referring to lost body weight. But, guess what? Thanks to rigorous trials conducted by yours truly, Mhizer’s approved weight loss pills can help you burn up to 10% of your body fat in a year without too much risk! It’s true, many consumers can’t afford conventional methods of losing weight, so you should subsidise the production of our wonder pills to give everyone the equal opportunity they deserve.”
3. “You’ve all lost your damn minds,” sighs @@RANDOM_NAME@@, your Minister of Health, as @@HE@@ shoves a couple of nauseating images of patients’ intestines in your face. “Weight loss pills can be harmful if used improperly, and worms? Hello, diarrhea, vomit, stomach pain? Are you kidding me? Yet people still get conned into thinking that these extreme health risks are worth it to lose a few kilos. These scams have gone too far. Arrest both of these psychos and prohibit their products at once!”
