Valid for: nations who answered issue 633, excludes 633.7 and 633.8
The Issue: Yesterday afternoon, a session of Parliament was concluded with a bill changing the national anthem's male lyrics to gender neutral ones. After severe backlash, several people have come to voice their opinions.
[Option 1]: @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@, an old MP, slams open your office door with a copy of the bill in her hands. "I'm all for women's rights, but this is ridiculous!" she persists, and slams the bill on your desk. "I'm a woman, and like the majority of women in @@NAME@@, none of us cared what it originally said. I say leave it be."
[Effect]: women's rights move one step forward and two steps back
[Option 2]: A blond teen messily eating a ramen bowl steps inside. "Hey! I'm @@RANDOMFIRSTNAME@@ Uzumaki, and this is a great idea, believe it!" @@HE@@ slurps @@HIS@@ ramen quickly. "This shows that we value everyone, and if we change here, then everyone can change with us. The true path to peace is through understanding."
[Effect]: re-editing government databases to be gender neutral is absurdly time consuming
[Option 3]: "All of this trouble was caused by deciding on an national anthem," says your Minister of Bland Solutions in a monotone voice. "Let's just repeal it. Who needs a tune to bind our people anyway?"
[Effect]: a moment of silence is played during international events to represent @@NAME@@
