TITLE: Ah Ships, here we go again
DESC.After your intelligence department showed the existence of a heavily-used trade route between the nearby nation of Blackacre and the Holy Empire of Dàguó, the military made the controversial descision to stop a cargo ship along the route. A look in the hold revealed many nuclear missiles of Dàguónese origin, many with the capability to hit @@NAME@@. Worse, Blackacre has a history of hostility towards your country. It grants them a frightening amount of power, and who knows what they might do next...
CHOICE 1: "It's a serious threat to national security!" thunders your furious Defence minister. "We'll send our best ships to their little fleet and demand they turn back-or we'll show them with our OWN weapons!"
EFFECT: Legend has it that there used to be a nation called Daguo, somewhere on the map.
CHOICE 2: "Yeah, all well and good, just... that's a bit too extreme, isn't it? Can't we just put out a blockade and stop any ships from reaching the
target?" asks @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@. "That does the job, without an excessive loss of life."
EFFECT: The cargo ships stay outside the blockade as nations criticize the jailing of an entire country.
CHOICE 3: "The thing is, we don't know if they're going to use it against us or just keep it there to intimidate." remarks Kennedy Roberts, who happens to be your brother. "Maybe I can settle this diplomatically with Daguo's ambassador in @@CAPITAL@@, and ask for their government to be more transparent about this. Who knows, it might be a genuine threat to our country, and I don't want that."
EFFECT: Negotiations are as clear as mud.
CHOICE 4: "Or put international pressure on them." says @@RANDOMNAME@@. "We can always call on our allies in @@REGION@@ to threaten them. Heck, maybe we can do that without putting any blame on ourselves!"
EFFECT: Daguo's leader is famous for his heavy purchases of earplugs.
