So, I have an idea for an issue; it has to do with a population of your nations historical ethnic population that resides in a neighboring country. I've come up with a few pieces of legislature, but i'm wondering if anyone could offer any critique?
And the issue:
Ethnic @@NAME@@ demand annexation!
A large number of Ethnic @@NAME@@ have appealed to your government to annex a large sized portion of land containing a very high percentage of @@NAME@@ who want to rejoin their homeland.
“We should welcome our Brothers with open arms!” Says notable Fascist Alexander Amundson in between writing his Manifesto. “These are our Brothers! They want to join our glorious nation, and I say we let them! And if anyone, say the country controlling the region has anything to say about it other than ‘Go ahead, it’s all yours!’ then I say we show them the business end of our rifles and take the rest of the country. For more elbow room and general living space.”
“I agree with my colleague” says Richard Krieger, head of Social Studies at @@NAME@@ University. “But we should also take this as an opportunity to expand our industries! Annexing them would mean adding millions to our workforce, and also being able to give our people a bit of a tax break after the initial developing is done. But we mustn’t threaten military action, we should resolve this diplomatically. Even if it will take longer.
“Has anyone stopped and taken a good look at OUR country lately!?” says Feminist Joanna dell’ Abruzzo, while throwing pitchforks of bras into a large bonfire. “I swear, if you men weren’t in charge nobody would be wanting anybody to annex them. We should work to improve conditions of our brothers in that godforsaken land they call a country. But while we’re at it, let’s make it so that only women can hold public office and make important decisions. And while we’re at it, give them all 10 male concubines to wait on them hand and foot! Let’s turn @@NAME@@ into a Feminist republic!” She exclaims, as crowds of women cheer her on.
“Quite frankly, I don’t care at all about what these people want” says a homeless man from the gutter to your left, taking a large swig from his brown paper bag. “We’re all going to die anyway, and those people already made the choice to leave here. So why waste our time on them? We should be doing things like improving our welfare program so that I can drink- I mean feed myself and rent an apartment.” He then throws the bottle towards you, missing and hitting your assistant before your bodyguards apprehend him.
For option 1, this would annex the population, increasing it by about 10 million (too high? Too low?) But would add a 5% tax increase due to military spending to deal with the ensueing conflict, and your country would become more militaristic.
Option 2 would add 12 million (too high? Too low?) To your population, more because of the lack of conflict that would cause refugees and casualties that came with option 1. There would be a 3% tax cut, as there are suddenly more people to tax. Industry would increase by 2% and your reputation would go down slightly, but not as much as in option 1.
As for the other two, i'm not quite sure yet what I want them to be. If anyone has any ideas, that'd be great!
