TITLE:
The Visitor
VALIDITY:
airplanes allowed, no autarky
DESCRIPTION:
Brancaland, a longstanding international ally and trading partner of @@NAME@@, has issued an invitation to you for a formal state visit, and as part of the itinerary have planned an open top ride through their national park in a traditional moose-drawn carriage. However, security staff have expressed some concerns about this.
OPTION 1
"Have you heard of the Sons of the Maple?" asks your security chief, nervously checking behind your desk for hidden assassins. "They're a Brancalandian protest group who are unreasonably opposed to you and your state visit, and they've promised to throw a bucket of syrup over your head. Look, someone as important as you is always going to have enemies, and security is paramount. You should travel only in our own armoured vehicles, have your safety provided only by our own security services. It's a dangerous world - you have to be pragmatic."
OUTCOME:
@@LEADER@@ wears an armoured gauntlet when shaking hands with foreign leaders
OPTION 2
"According to the World Census, Brancaland is in the top 5% safest nations in the world," reassures your Minister for Diplomacy, stroking your shoulder soothingly. "You're as safe within their borders as you are within your own front room. We should show some trust in Brancalandian security arrangements, and some respect for their cultural traditions. Speaking of which, I have a pink-and-green heraldic woolen tuque that you'll need to wear, you know, just to be polite."
OUTCOME:
many predict @@LEADER@@ will come to a sticky end
OPTION 3
"Honestly, don't you have anything better to do than to holiday on the public purse?" complains working mum and socialist nationalist @@randomfemalename@@. "We've got problems enough at home for you to deal with. You should cancel all state visits for the foreseeable future, and pledge to remain in @@NAME@@, putting the needs of @@DEMONYMPEOPLE@@ first."
OUTCOME:
most foreigners can't name the leader of @@NAME@@
