As I mentioned in your other draft, you need to spoiler tag your first post differently. The opening description is part of the draft, and your "draft 1" no longer contains any trace of what your previous opening looked like.
Anyway, let's see where we are:
Foreign leaders from @@REGION@@ will be converging in @@NAME@@ next week to propose a multilateral trade deal. Political commentators are hopeful that the trade deal will be advantageous to @@NAME@@, however some other leaders already appear to to be hesitant to compromise on their nation's interests. Worried that the trade deal won’t go ahead, your Cabinet has barged into your office to demand action to secure the trade deal.
Excessive framing here, when most of this information could be transmitted in the options.
Just make it:
Foreign leaders from @@REGION@@ will be converging in @@NAME@@ next week to propose a multilateral trade deal.
The rest is redundant.
Okay, let's hit the options.
Option 1:
Your flamboyant Minister for Culture @@RANDOMNAME@@ sashays towards you with outstretched arms, bowling over several ministers in the process. '@@LEADER@@, The Book of Violet by the National Theatre Company will debut in @@CAPITAL@@ in two weeks. I’m sure that if you make a generous donation to the arts, the Theatre Company can arrange an exclusive preview performance. Undoubtably, you will be the toast of @@REGION@@, and it will simply be très chic to sign the trade deal!’
Effect: Foreign leaders often contact @@LEADER@@ to get VIP tickets
Yeah, that seems a little narratively disjointed. What does theatre have to do with a trade deal? Shouldn't we be examining whether we want a trade deal or not rather than discussing the entertainment?
Option 2:
Amongst the mounting uproar of arguing ministers, your Army Chief @@RADNDOMNAME@@ pulls out a pistol and fires a few shots into the ceiling, sending several ministers ducking for cover and silencing the room. Your Army Chief proudly announces, ‘@@NAME@@ should organise a military show to demonstrate that @@NAME@@ is a bedrock of security in @@REGION@@. Imagine – pyrotechnics, simulated anti-terrorism operations, and most importantly, tonnes and tonnes of explosives! I’m sure that the foreign leaders will realise that it is in their best interests to sign the damn trade deal!’
Effect: @@NAME@@ often forces foreign leaders to sign trade deals at gunpoint
Right, again, isn't there a bit of an assumption here that we WANT a trade deal? I mean really, why this obsession over the entertainment?
Nations don't decide whether or not to sign a trade deal based on ephemera like this: they examine mutual interests, the pros and cons of free trade vs protectionism, and so on.
It seems like the issue you want to write is "what entertainment shall I put on for some foreign dignitaries?"
I suggest that for that, you need an entirely different premise.
