[DESCRIPTION] Outrage has followed a whistleblower providing The @@DENONYM@@ Daily Herald with reports that your Minister of State, @@RANDOMNAME@@, had requested on the feasibility of purchasing Bormiar, a small nation in your sphere of influence. Members of the press and officials from both nations have lined up outside your door to have their voices heard.
[OPTION 1] “This is an affront to the civil rights of both nations!” cries lobbyist @@RANDOMNAME@@, a member of Grassroots People, after bribing her way to the front of the line. “But… maybe there is a way to solve this democratically… Why not have voting in both nations to decide this? Carried out by official Grassroots People pollers, of course.”
[EFFECT 1] Citizens wishing to change the channel must hire a government sanctioned officer to ensure it’s democratic
[OPTION 2] “How can this even be considered?” Bellows @@RANDOMNAME@@, an outspoken nationalist from Bormiar. He begins taping Bormian flags on the walls of your office while continuing to speak. “Bormiar had been pushed around for too long! If you don’t stop trying to control us, then I can guarantee there will be revolutionaries on your doorstep, @@LEADER@@.”
[EFFECT 2] @@NATION@@ is known for being easily controlled with threats of violence, leading to the outlaw of plastic straws, paper plates, and bubblegum.
[OPTION 3] “Now, now let's all calm down.” Soothes @@RANDOMNAME1@@, offering you a wad of cash under the table. “Me and the President of Bormiar, @@RANDOMNAME@@, have come to a wonderful agreement. Bormiar would provide the perfect land for @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@. Think of the profit!. All it would take would be a few small payments to the President and some other high ranking officials.”
[EFFECT 3] Leaders of nations bordering @@NATION@@ are noted to often retire in luxury after agreeing to “merge” with @@NATION@@
[OPTION 4] “What sort of discussion is this!” General @@RANDOMENAME@@ barrels into your office, armed with an assault rifle and two bandoliers of ammo. “If we want the land so bad, why not just take it? The army of @@NATION@@ is the greatest in the world!” @@HE@@ roars, firing a shot into your ceiling.
[EFFECT 4] The international community is in constant fear of the army of @@NATION@@, which freely roams, conquering what it sees fit.
