The president of Maxtopia — a brutish, warmongering dictator — has suddenly passed away of natural causes in his sleep. The government of that country has announced 2 weeks of national mourning and an extravagant state-sponsored funeral, including an invitation for all the leaders of @@REGION@@ to attend. But what will @@NAME@@ do?
Validity: all
[Option] “He was a monster who presided over a civil war and a hellish theocracy!” announces young agitator @@RANDOMNAME@@ while vandalising a gravestone for as yet unknown reasons.”The only shame is that he died peacefully instead of facing justice. We need to announce to the world good riddance and urge the Maxtopian people to do better!”
[Effect] the @@TYPE@@ speaks very ill of the dead
[option] Your foreign minister has never looked so aghast before. “And alienate one of our biggest trading partners?!” After composing themselves for a second, they continue, “Maxtopia is too big and important to provoke over such petty things as ‘war crimes’ and ‘human rights violations’, especially at a time like this. We need to send their people our deepest condolences and get you to that funeral asap. Mustn’t speak ill of the dead.”
[effect] in death, all is forgiven
[option] “So what you’re telling me, is that Maxtopia currently has no dear president...” says a grinning wannabe secret agent @@RANDOMNAME@@, wearing a bad cosplay of a well-known movie spy. “Then we should hit them, all sneaky like, and get our guy to be their new ruler! Just like go in there, with all of our gadgets, and be like “hey, be president and do what we say or die!” And then assassinate any of their government officials who don’t comply. Nothing can go wrong! Dead easy!”
[effect] the nation is in a state of war with Maxtopia
