An issue has been brought up before the Spectaclia parliament relating to the purported existence of "seedy casinos" ; and to add insult to injury, it has been claimed that "Children as young as eight have been spotted gambling in some of Spectaclia's seedier casinos."
Esteemed audience : let me bring to your attention that as of now, there simply *are* no casinos at all in Spectaclia (let alone seedy ones), as we just immigrated into this region (Idyllia) from the North Pacific region and are building it all up again. The Spectaclian population is right now totally focusing on furthering the wellbeing and general affluence of our society, and casinos at this moment have no place in this.
The issue, as it is based not only on unverified claims but on outright lies, has naturally been swiftly dismissed.
The President,
Julio Wellborn
