I'm thinking I'm going to submit this to the competition.
The title is in the works.
Valid for all nations.
Maxtopia, a country renowned for its dictatorial government and deplorable civil rights, has recently erupted into civil war as the citizenry revolts.
[option]"We must show that we staunchly support government and order!" exclaims your Minister of Defence, who also happens to be the heir to a major arms manufacturing company. "These revolutionaries are barbaric! Haven't you heard? Just yesterday a group of them tortured one of Maxtopia’s politicians to death! If we supported them, what kind of message would that send our own people about how they should treat government? We need to help the Maxtopian government quell this uprising — we must supply them with weapons."
[effect] weapons are routinely exported to governments whose citizens show signs of unrest
[stats] Arms Manufacturing increases, Law & Order increases, Corruption increases, Political Freedoms decrease, Pacifism decreases
[option]"We can't possibly help such a corrupt government!" argues @@RANDOMNAME@@, a civil rights activist. "You should see the way they treat their people — it’s no wonder they're revolting! I think we should support them in any way we can: let’s send them the weapons! Of course, we'll have made an enemy of the current Maxtopian government, but they won't be able to do anything about it once they've lost the war."
[effect] the lower classes of other countries are actively encouraged to revolt against their governments
[stats] Arms Manufacturing increases, Political Freedoms increase, International Aid increases, Pacifism decreases, Safety decreases, Compassion increases
[option]"Why should we be sending any weapons at all?" implores @@RANDOMNAME@@, a pacifist and anti-gun protester. "They only further conflict! If anything, we need to do away with the military altogether. Down with guns! Down with war!"
[effect] the now-minuscule military is armed solely with sticks
[stats] Arms Manufacturing decreases, Defence decreases, Pacifism increases, Safety decreases, Compassion decreases
