Should I keep my dictatorship?

Postby Aabceef » Thu Aug 27, 2009 7:31 pm

The Issue

While effusively praising Aabceef's leadership and bowing repeatedly, a delegation has humbly requested that the government take a more "modernistic" view in the future.
The Debate

1. The High Minister for Finance, who also happens to be your brother, dismisses the claim. "What these people fail to realize is that you know what's best for them. The alternative is anarchy! I say stick to your course. And execute these wackos for treason."


2. "Perhaps the people could be given some more political freedoms," muses your Chief of Staff, who is your sister. "Is there really such harm in allowing public discussion of ideas? We could even have a real Opposition Party. One that isn't just full of your puppets, I mean."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

The Government Position

The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 2.

I'm thinking of taking this option. What do you guys think? I'm a pretty liberal dictator, provide plenty of healthcare, welfare, education and many freedoms. I only ask that things be done my way. I totally agree with letting the populace voice their concerns and discuss them publicly, however I don't like having competition for power. However I feel that if I don't give them a little freedom here, my people will turn against me. Would this give them the illusion of democracy or will I be completely kicked out of power?
The ambassador of Aabceef humbly requests your excellency to shove it.

Promoting the illusion of democracy is in the best interest of any dictator or any type of tyranny.

You should realize that everything is done your way no matter what choice you make since the person playing the game makes all the choices.

If you want your people to like you you should allow free and fair elections and release all political prisoners.

The more oppressive the dictator is the greater the opposition he will have and the more likely he will be overthrown. You could learn something from Fidel Castro.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the player, if he wants to be overthrown... in the RP forums. :)
