NAME: Fishmongers for Life?
DESCRIPTION: The Fishmongers for Life Foundation, a group supporting sustainable fishing practices, has stormed a small government building complete with harpoons and water cannons, demanding that @@NAME@@ immediately pass laws to control overfishing in its sovereign waters.
VALIDITY: Valid for nations where @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ is trout farming, OR environment budget is extremely low.
[option]@@RANDOMNAME@@, Operator and Voice of the Fishmongers for Life Foundation manages to break into your office, wearing nothing but a seaweed loincloth and an eyepatch. He stands to speak, with an affected upper-class accent. "Good sir, the exotic sealife of this nation need protecting! Industrial-scale fishing is seriously depleting our native stocks of exotic fish, both captured as a by-product of edible fish and for the table themselves. I propose we set aside some marine assets to protect these fish, and to ensure that recreational fishermen will forever have a safe place to go and fishmonger with their family."
[effect]National Sealife Sanctuaries are being introduced to protect exotic fish from commercial enterprise.
[stats]Trout farming industry decreases, economic strength decreases, civil rights increases, Commerce and Industry decreases, Law and Order increases, Environment Increases, economic freedoms decrease
[option]Well-known celebrity @@RANDOMNAME@@, from @@NAME@@'s well-known reality TV show Top Reel, appears from the corner, seeming to have instantly materialized in a shady business suit. You have no idea how long he sat there, and do not get to ask him before he produces a business card - "The Fishmongers Conglomerate". "The oceans are free game. Our coast shares the same ocean as the rest of the world - and the same fish. How can @@NAME@@ compete with the rest of the international fishing industry if we are not prepared to take advantage of what we can steal - er, obtain fairly and unbiasedly?"
[effect]A conglomerate of major fishing corporations effectively owns the nation's territorial waters and its sealife.
[stats]Economic strength increases, trout farming industry increases significantly, environment decreases dramatically, economic freedoms increase dramatically
[option]A government official of little importance pipes up once your two visitors stop shouting him down. "You know, my aunt owns a small cheese import/export business in North @@NAME@@. He reckons that there's a fish substitute in some of the waste products of one of her less popular cheeses. If you wouldn't mind, she's not doing so well..could you help her a little? It would be a way to save the fishes, you know. Milk is renewable, or so my aunt says - just take all the fishermen and give them a bucket."
[effect]Waste from the cheese industry is being rabidly promoted by the government as an ingredient for fish substitute.
[stats]Trout farming industry decreases significantly, commerce and industry increases significantly, cheese exports increase significantly, civil rights drop significantly, economic freedom increases slightly.
First Draft
Key concerns:
As raised by Panageadom:
Second option may need to be shortened (clauses have been shortened as of Draft 2 but some may need to be cut, leaving the others to be fluffed up slightly again)
Second option ending seems 'tacked on'
First option needs a 'voice' - rectified but a little bit oddball, thoughts?
Possibly a forth option to 'privatize the seas' - or else as a replacement to option 3 which is a little odd, or option 2 which is mostly a moderated 'privatize the seas' issue
