The Glorious Micronation of Mike Ronation
Description: After deciding the current @@DEMONYM@@ government just wasn't good enough for him, Mr. Mike Ronation has decided to secede his house from @@NAME@@ and form his own nation! When the police tried to arrest him for later attacking the mailman for not properly going through customs, he declared war on the @@TYPE@@. Your top officials have gathered at a conference to settle the issue.
Validity: all nations.
[option]Your chief military advisor slams his fist down on the table. "WAR! This is absolutely ludicrous. We have to send a message to people crazy enough as Mr. Ronation. You do not secede from @@NAME@@. It's that simple. Some people might find tearing up his house with armor-piercing shells a little extreme, but it's all for the greater good. In fact, once this is all over, we should start doing regular patrols to make sure people don't follow in his footsteps. For the sake of @@NAME@@, of course."
[effect]people live in constant fear of their neighbor's house exploding
[stats]law and order spending increases, civil rights decrease, authoritarianism increases, compassion decreases, safety from crime increases
[option]”Whoa, whoa! Let’s not get too hasty about this!” pleads major political figure @@RANDOMNAME@@ whilst petting a pair of kittens. “Sure, I’m a little upset that Mr. Ronation doesn’t want to be part of our glorious @@TYPE@@--and that he tried to snap that mailman’s neck—but you have to look at it from both perspectives! He wants the freedom to live as he chooses, and I think that he has taken an admirable risk to show us what democracy truly means. There might be a few strange consequences to the economy, but isn’t the freedom to do what you want more important? Make secession legal instead of hunting people like Mr. Ronation down. Would you like a kitten?”
[effect]@@NAME@@ is rapidly losing land and resources as random bums create new countries across the nation
[stats]economy decreases, civil rights increase, political freedoms increase, authoritarianism decreases, niceness increases, safety decreases
[option]”Hey, man, that cat lady has a good point,” says a New Age spiritual leader, who has shown up uninvited. “In fact, we should make secession compulsory in @@NAME@@ so we can finally be free from the oppressive force of big government. It’s a bit of a paradox, but once it’s all done we can finally be free of petty politics and go back to being people of the earth!”
[effect]the @@DEMONYM@@ government has lost all power outside of its own doors
[stats]economy decreases, political freedoms increase, authoritarianism decreases, government size decreases, law enforcement decreases, safety decreases, taxation decreases
I was inspired by that Family Guy episode where Peter makes his own country and invades the US.
