[Kentivic]

This is my first issue based on the current situation in Venezuela. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

[Title] What to do about a Coup

[Validity] All nations

[Description] You have just been informed that the leader of the assembly of Marche Noire declared the current president illegitimate after claims of corrupt elections and moves to make himself virtual dictator of the nation. The leader of the assembly is now seeking international allies to help and support him in his cause.

[option] "This is great news," exclaims @@RANDOMNAME@@ a local bureaucrat. "We need to impose strong sanction onto Marche Noire and economically deplete their nation until they are forced to give into the assembly's demands and restore democracy"
[effect] The last of Marche Noire's food supplies are held up in the capital while the rest of the nation's citizens scourge for food

[option] "That is nowhere near far enough," says @@RANDOMENAME@@, your Minister of Defense, storming into your office. "Those people are starving and need aid right away. We must send to soldiers to ensure this aid reaches the citizens safely and, hey, if a few government loyalists die along the way all the better".
[effect] The amount of military presence in a country is directly proportional to how hungry it's citizens are

[option] "Woah, woah, woah, I think we moving a little too fast here," Says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a wealthy billionaire who made @@HIS@@ money through questionable foreign endeavors, "I think this new dict... uh president is really just fine. His country is in great need and I am sure there are lots of business here in @@NATION@@ that can serve his needs. Maybe we announce support of the president in exchange for a lucrative trade deal, I'm sure @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ could use a boost".
[effect] Brutal tyrants are lining up at your door to exchange their nations precious resources in exchange for your support and protection

[option] "No, we need to stop meddling in other nation's business," pipes up @@RANDOMNAME@@, your new personal assistant. "We spend too much time worrying about what other far off nations are doing while we are plagued with our own problems at home. We need to take all that time, money, and energy that would have gone into whatever you were going to do and put into fixing domestic problems, along with stopping dealing with other nation's problems in general".
[effect] "I don't care" is the established response to any country asking for aid

[option] "I don't really see what's so bad about this guy," says a @@RANDOMNAME@@ a rising political star. "He says he was elected democratically and I honestly just think that he is doing what is best for his country. I think that we need to announce support of the president immediately".
[effect] Intelligence of other nations is solely based on what thier head of state says

"Assembly's", not "Assemblies". Also, I would think a Secretary of defense would prefer a military option more than a humanitarian. Also, there's not option allowing you to outright support the previous leader. I think you should have one.

[Kentivic]

Ya I think I will switch those up so the first one is humanitarian and the second one is secretary of defense. I the third one is meant to support the dictator outright but I could add one that is just pure support with nothing in return

I sense Maduro’s hand at work...

Nice title!

[Description] You have just been informed that the leader of the assembly of Marche Noire declared the current president illegitimate after claims of corrupt elections and moves to make himself virtual dictator of the nation. The leader of the assembly is now seeking international allies to help and support him in his cause.

I would change this to 'has declared,' change "virtual dictator" to something more precise and less bad-sounding (since it is his own motion), and change "help and support" to just 'support.'

[option] "This is great news," exclaims @@RANDOMNAME@@ a local bureaucrat. "We need to impose strong sanction..."

Why is this good news? How does imposing sanctions help this bureaucrat or @@NAME@@? Also, I would put a comma after the bureaucrat's name, and pluralize "sanction."

Nice This is funny. I would axe "amount of," and use 'its' instead of "it's" to indicate possession.

I think we moving

we're

Lowercase, 'says'

Maybe we announce support of the president in exchange for a lucrative trade deal, I'm sure @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ could use a boost".

This wouldn't really work for Tourism.

your new personal assistant.

Why?

We need to take all that time, money, and energy that would have gone into whatever you were going to do and put into fixing domestic problems, along with stopping dealing with other nation's problems in general".

Oof

[effect] Intelligence of other nations is solely based on what thier head of state says

Nice one Change it to 'Intelligence on," and "thier" to 'their.'

Edit: I just realized, 'Much Ado About a Coup' could be a pretty great title for this Issue, but 'What to do about a Coup' is still good, too.

[Altmer Dominion]

Welcome to Got Issues! I don't want to discourage you, but please take a look at Issue #267 and Issue #1034 You have a different narrative, but the overarching idea of '@@NAME@@ reacting to a foreign coup' has been tackled a number of different ways. It's heartening to see issues react to current events, but I'd advise that you check for overlap. As of now, I'm not convinced we're treading new enough ground. I encourage you to keep writing, but a good place to check for potential overlap in future drafts is the NS Issues List currently maintained by Jutsa.

What exactly makes you think he's a dictator?
