VALID: For nations that opted for an Underground Capital
[option] “Well there’s your problem!” declares the city engineer that was profusely taping at the cracking ceiling – much to your displeasure. “See? The original design wasn’t made to handle all of these quasi-atmospheric variables – you’ve got all of this rising steam from …uh, stuff, and its accumulating here at the ceiling. If you don’t fund a major renovation on this place, either there’s going to be some massive water erosion to the ceiling, or the place is going to become essentially a thermonuclear pressure-cooker But either way, it’s not going to be good for the citizens of @@CAPITAL@@. Sure it’ll cost a ton of tax @@CURRENCY@@s to fix. But we need it done to save lives, quick! [effect]tax money is being poured into an expensive make-work project to improve @@CAPITAL@@’s structural integrity [stats]income tax way up! , government corruption down, safety goes up
[option] “Don’t listen to that quack!” barked your Minister of Finance, playfully scratched at the wall to pull out a handful of crumbled cement “Its harmless stuff! Really! Think of all the little @@ANIMAL@@s who can now make feeders and cute niches in the eroded walls! Because, we can’t go spending MORE money, as it is having the capital inconveniently moved underground cost us a fortune. So instead of being, err… greedy, let’s think of the @@ANIMAL@@s![effect]citizens routinely look for falling debris while on their way to work [stats]citizens’ happiness way down, safety way down , corruption up
[option] “Strangely enough – I agree with my slippery colleague for once” states your dopey-eyed Minister of Environment “Ever since the residents of @@CAPITAL@@ moved to the underground, the overland has become a natural paradise! Wildlife has returned, the air is clean, the littering has stopped - Nature has taken over! Its beautiful! We should be ‘encouraging’ all of @@NATION@@’s cities to follow our capitals’ lead with the idea! Think of the @@ANIMAL@s!” [effect]human life has been forced underground to leave nature’s beauty intact [stats]citizens’ happiness way down, safety down, environment’s aesthetics up,
[option] “But what about us?” screamed the angry soccer mom with a bandaged head, “this eroding ceiling is causing a lot of problems for us citizens. As it is putting the capital underground was a terrible idea – we’re all paler than vampires from lack of sun, crowded together, and dieing of heat exhaustion. The government needs to move @@CAPITAL@@ above ground. We’re people, not ants! [effect]the capital has been moved above ground, much to taxpayers’ dismay. [stats]citizens’ happiness is up, safety up, taxs up, environment aesthetics down
