So while part 3 of my monarchy-craze is about the monarch wanting to retire, this one's about him/her being a pain and everyone else wanting them to retire.
I have some doubts about all three of these co-existing, but I thought this one was pretty funny and fun to work on regardless.
(And I didn't have too much trouble with the title for this one >.>)
Tile: A Royal Flush
The Issue: Controversy has been circulating @@NAME@@ on acount of the monarch beginning to act somewhat inappropriately, ranging from making rude gestures to publicly denouncing you as an effective leader.
Validity: Constitutional Monarchy
Option 1: "No offense, but our current monarch is a pompous jerk," grumbles your Minister of Leader-Love, arms crossed just under @@HIS@@ "I <3 @@LEADER@@" pin. "It's bad enough our allies like Brancaland were insulted, but the royal pain in the butt had the gall to push me over at the playgound... nevermind. You should have the right to forcefully remove a monarch if it'd help the nation's political and social stability."
[effect] any monarch @@LEADER@@ disagrees with is out on their royal behind
Option 2: "You can't overthrow the crown! That'd be almost as bad as overthrowing you!" shouts your Minister of Balancing Royalty with Politics, legs crossed in a metitative pose to emphasise @@HIS@@ duties. "The monarch's recent actions have unquestionably been questionable, but here's a question: Wouldn't it be better to have the monarch, behind closed doors, be given some incentives for good behavior? Make the dog happy, it'll obey... usually."
[effect] the royal family is waited on hand and food for doing virtually nothing
Option 3: "This delinquent monarch has the nerve to insult our great nation, and you want to reward that?" inquires your Minister of Peacekeeping, eyes crossed due to some sort of condition. "We have to create some severe punishments for misbehavior! No one, not even the crown, can get away with these actions!"
[effect] most of the pictures containing royalty also involve someone being crowned
Option 4: "There's a way we could get rid of our current monarch without abdication," proposes @@RANDOMNAME@@, having crossed out several pictures of the current monarch. "Why don't you hire that James Bont agent to assassinate the current monarch? Instill some national pride, give an impressive speach, and all while eliminating that horse's behind."
[effect] royalty seems to be found dead alongside smashed windows and burning helicopters quite often
