Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2020 3:31 pm
Description: Marche Blanche, one of @@NAME@@'s close-knit friends, was invaded by Marche Noire. Marche Blanche has called for @@NAME@@'s military support, but the war will most likely cost thousands of @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ lives. Your advisors have met to discuss what to do.
Option 1: "Why, doing this is just a waste of the lives of soldiers!" confesses your distressed Minister of Defense @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Why should we have our military leave our borders for someone else's war, anyway? We should decline the call to arms, and stop giving so much foreign aid for good measure. No reason to support anything but ourselves and our best interests."
Effect Line: @@NAME@@ is often forgotten by other countries
Option 2: "The continued livelihood of our allies *is* our best interests" declaims famed war hero and general @@RANDOMNAME@@. "If we don't get involved in the world, then our nation will fade into obscurity. We should firstly agree to send military support, and then focus the nation towards the defense of our allies and weaker nations. We must work towards global recognition, no matter the cost."
Effect Line: foreign soldiers outnumbered by the enemy hear "@@SLOGAN@@" being shouted by their reinforcements
Option 3: "Pfff! Why do we even need allies, anyway?" smugly remarks @@RANDOMNAME@@, one of your advisors who is also a known isolationist. "We don't even need any outside aid, and @@NAME@@ shouldn't have to rely on anyone else for stability or goods. We should have a closed economy, and no foreigners should be allowed to enter the country. That way, nothing and nobody with prevent @@NAME@@ from following it's own interests.
Effect Line: @@NAME@@ has isolated itself from global conflicts
