CURRENT DRAFT:
[Title] Are There Any @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ Left?
[Validity] None
[Description] Surveys have shown that the majority of citizens in provinces like South @@ANIMAL@@land identify themselves far more strongly with their region than with the country as a whole. As such, the nation's central authorities in @@CAPITAL@@ are becoming increasingly concerned about the disappearance of the national identity, and how such detachment might cause problems for @@NATION@@ as a whole in the future.
[Option 1] "Bah, blatant disregard for the hand that feeds!" scoffs your Minister of Culture and National Heritage most sourly. "Those yokels need to be reminded that whatever their regional identity, they're @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ first and foremost! Census takers ought to poll every town, city and county on a weekly basis, and if the amount of people identifying as a @@DEMONYM@@ is less than half of the population, any and all funding should be summarily cut! That'll inspire local authorities to keep promoting our national identity."
[Effect 1] everyone's a proud @@DEMONYM@@ when the government's watching
[Option 2] The Undersecretary of Interior, a local from South @@ANIMAL@@land, starts speaking in @@HIS_1@@ unintelligible regional dialect. @@HIS_1@@ aide translates helpfully: "The Undersecretary says that @@HE_1@@ doesn't understand what would be so bad about citizens identifying more with their region than their nation. @@HE_1@@ believes that @@NAME@@ is a diverse and pluralistic society that has transcended the need for a single, unifying demonym. @@HE@@ proposes a return to a more personal, regional approach to cultural identification."
[Effect 2] everything in @@NAME@@ is always the fault of 'those damned @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@'
[Option 3] "Weak words from soft leaders," sighs your advisor General Orland Wellington, folding his hands. "Historically, there has been only one valid approach to unifying a divided people: a common enemy. There are plenty of viable targets around us. Blackacre, Dàguó, or even little insignificant Ausonia, they're all ripe for demonization! And while you rally our citizens against these peoples - turning them into hated enemies of the state - you'll slowly increase the power of the central authorities. All in the name of national security, of course."
[Effect 3] children scream for their parents claiming there's a Bigtopian hiding under their bed
