[desc] A revolution in Smalltopia last week led to the ousting of its old repressive government, as the dust settles, the new repressive government has emerged, proudly proclaiming itself as the Democratic Republic of Smalltopia and following the totalitarian-socialist ideology of Smallinism. The new socialist regime has requested @@NAME@@ for aid to help get itself afoot. Your cabinet is split on whether or not to provide the government with aid, as a series of atrocities committed in the country have made debating split among party lines.
[validity] private enterprise must be banned, nation must relatively high civil and political freedoms, nation also must provide foreign aid in general.
[option] "I don't see how we can refuse them aid, comrade!" Exclaims ushanka-donning party minister @@RANDOMNAME@@, "This new socialist regime is in dire need of financial support, and we're in the place to provide some to them! By helping them, we'd be contributing to the construction of socialism worldwide! These here reports of atrocity are being used as weapons themselves by the capitalist powers to stop the spread of socialism worldwide, starting with Smalltopia! Who hasn't thought about dumping your whole political opposition into work camps? In fact, if we provide our new Smallinist neighbors with aid, we might be able to end these atrocities by providing them with stability, whaddya say, comrade?"
[effect]foreign aid from the country is regularly received by totalitarian dictatorships in the name of international socialism
[stats]Foreign aid, authoritarianism, ideological radicality and maybe niceness and compassion go up
[option] "Where do I start?" Foreign minister @@RANDOMNAME@@ says, dropping a stack of papers on your desk, "The new Smallinist regime has committed a staggeringly high number of atrocities in the short time it has been around, I don't care if they claim to be following our ideals, I care if they are following our ideals, and all possible reports say otherwise. If we give every tinpot dictatorship foreign aid because they slap 'The Democratic People's Republic' in their name, we'd be more often than not giving money to tyrants, directly subsidizing their crimes! I'd say that's the opposite of socialism and the revolution we fought so hard to achieve. Regimes that ask for aid, socialist or not, must prove their basic respect for human rights."
[effect]governments seeking humanitarian aid from @@NAME@@ must prove a certain level of humanitarianism
[stats]foreign aid, compassion, niceness and authoritarianism decrease.
[option] "That's not going far enough!" Wails protesting radical syndicalist @@RANDOMNAME@@, who broke a window to get into your office. "It'd go against our principles to support the Smallinist tankies by any means! Those totalitarian goons aren't the face of socialism we want in the world, and I'm certain many leftists here in @@NAME@@ certainly agree! We must outright denounce any Marxist nation that doesn't comply with our view of what it should be!" They plant a red and black flag in your office before breaking a different window and escaping.
[effect]the government is prone to denounce foreign nations as splitters if their inspired Marxist writer is different
[stats]foreign aid, compassion, niceness and authoritarianism decrease, ideological radicality increases.
