Name: Campaign Conundrum
Validity: Valid only for nations who elect their leaders
Description: Your government is facing heavy for a blatant political advertisement aired during the recent @@REGION@@ Cup. Politicos and soccer fans alike have been staging protests over the political ad when the next election isn’t until next year. Critics are now calling for a ban on all pre-election campaigning.
Options
[option]”Pre-election campaigning is nothing short of brainwashing!” shouts an angry protestor who managed to get past your security. “The election isn’t for another year. We shouldn't have to deal with @@LEADER@@’s propaganda until then! For the sake of our sanity and fairness, pre-election campaigning must be banned.” The protestor is then tasered by one of your bodyguards and dragged out of your office.

[option]”Don’t listen to that nonsense!” scoffs your campaign manager @@RANDOMNAME@@. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting your message out to the people. People may be angry about broadcasting the ad during the @@REGION@@ Cup, but they’ll still remember the ad and the great work you’ve done since you came into office. Besides, we can always increase the amount of time for the campaign period.”

[option]”What if we still put out political messages, but are more subtle about it?” suggests one of your personal sycophants. “We could advertise specific government programs you’ve implemented since coming to power and say how great @@NAME@@’s been doing the past few years. There’s nothing wrong with a few friendly messages from the Government of @@NAME@@!”
