Animals? Yes. Robots, not exactly, but there are options that allow you to put robots in the military.

a number of immigrants have been sent backward, downward, upward and sideways to various detention centres across Zinertia.

A tad confused as to how I have detention centres with that policy?
And whilst there is nothing as clear as a nation policy, I'm fairly sure I'd have responded with open-border options to previous issues on the topics of migration and border control.

I feel there is a serious case of incorrect wording in the first option, namely:
"Hey hey, ho ho, Althaniq has got to go!" shout the ultra fans of @@CAPITAL@@ United.
Ultra fans are usually extreme right or extreme left violent people. The last thing they would ever say would be "Hey hey, ho ho, Althaniq has got to go!"
"Hey hey, ho ho, Althaniq has got to go!" is something a bunch of hippies in a drum circle would say!
So what would hardcore football fans say? Just: "Althaniq out!"
I realise that this is hardly linguistic genius, however, it is what real football fans chant when they're dissatisfied with their owner / manager.
Please, please, please get rid of "Hey hey, ho ho, Althaniq has got to go!" It makes me cringe just reading those words!
If you're still not convinced, here's a visual:(Image)(Image)

I'm sure the editors can prevent this issue from requiring the adult tag. There's already a couple of suggestions they can work with.
By the way, nice issue Sparta, except the hey ho bit!

You’ll get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees celsius or below over 7 consecutive days.
You’ll get £25 for each 7 day period of very cold weather between 1 November and 31 March.

Are you thinking of doing an issue draft about tax havens? There definitely could be several potential angles to it, but I'm not familiar with the dealings of tax havens.
