#1279 Crate Work, Plane and Simple [Candensia; ed: Candlewhisper Archive]
The Issue
Officials from the tiny, allied nation of Prudenlund have requested that @@NAME@@ assist in a series of humanitarian aid airdrops to one of its distant territories. The target for the drops — a chain of sparsely-inhabited islands recently ravaged by storms — has been difficult for Prudenlundian authorities to reach, as their nation lacks sufficient transport assets.
(according to draft, only for nations without the "No Aircraft" policy)
The Debate
1. “We have everything ready to go, just nothing for all of it to go in,” moans the Prudenlundian Ambassador to @@NAME@@. “The island chain is too distant for our smaller aircraft, and sea delivery will take too long. That’s why we’d appreciate it if our friends in @@NAME@@ could spare a few military transport aircraft, and carry out the drops for us. We only really need the planes, but if @@NAME@@ would like to provide additional supplies to drop, soap or unwanted clothes or something, that’d be great too.”
2. “Look man, I’d be down with sendin’ a couple planes or somethin’, but y’all Prudenlund people obviously haven’t brought any gas money,” says a young, brutally frugal official from the finance ministry’s Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Excellence division. “And since y’all don’t have gas money, it’s gotta be a no on this whole airdrop thing. Ditto for all our other expensive and wasteful aid commitments elsewhere. Tell ya what though, I’ll drop a line to the World Assembly or somethin’, ask them to help out instead. Y’all got phone money?”
3. “Isn’t that island chain famous for its coffee plantations?” muses your Minister for Agriculture. “You know, they’re actually direct competitors in coffee exports, and the low strength of their currency is giving them a disproportionate market share. I suggest we deliver the aid, but contaminate the crates with fungus spores, to subtly sabotage their coffee production. We’ll look like we’re helping while covertly establishing a competitive advantage.”

#1280 The Amazing, but Illegal, Spiderman [Baggieland; ed: Baggieland]
The Issue
On live TV yesterday, a seven-year-old girl was dangling and struggling to hold onto a sixth-floor balcony railing — as emergency services had been delayed by a stampede of wild @@ANIMALPLURAL@@ — only to be rescued by @@RANDOMMALENAME_1@, an illegal immigrant, who heroically climbed up the side of the building and brought her safely to ground level.
The Debate
1. “Of course we’re grateful,” begins @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Immigration Chief, as @@HE@@ slams the rule book on your desk. “However, illegal immigration is illegal immigration and we’re a nation of laws. Despite his good deed, I’m afraid that we have no choice but to deport him. Heroic acts will not get you any special privileges.”
2. “My PR senses are tingling!” declares @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Press Secretary, as @@HE@@ puts a comb through your hair. “We should give this @@RANDOMFIRSTNAME_1@@ fellow legal status and an official presentation at your office. One good deed deserves another, so make an exception for him. In fact, why don’t you hand out medals at posh ceremonies for every caring citizen? The press coverage will do you wonders!”
3. “That brave man saved my daughter!” proclaims @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@, the girl’s mother. “He absolutely must be given legal status. In fact, you should give citizenship to all illegal immigrants that are already here, as this incident proves that they aren’t all ‘bad people’. We should give them all the benefit of the doubt.”
4. “So, these immigrants seem pretty good at climbing then?” posits @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Employment Minister. “Why don’t we fast-track their citizenship applications and put them in jobs where climbing is required? There are window-cleaners, glaziers, tree-trimmers, roofers — they should be excellent at those kinds of jobs. Let’s face it, most @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ are scared of heights.”

#1016 Breaking UpsetThere's apparently an option 2 somewhere. Wild guess: it's for nations that banned firearms from the police force.
The Issue
While attending a community meeting in an impoverished neighborhood, you hear a commotion nearby. Just as you think you've seen it all, you find a man in his tighty-whities engulfed in flames outside his burning trailer. The cause was meth-making gone wrong.
The Debate
1. "I'm speechless, I truly am," states local state trooper @@RANDOMFIRSTNAME@@ Duturdte, as @@HE/SHE@@ twirls @@HIS/HER@@ revolver around @@HIS/HER@@ finger. "You want to know the worst part? Just last week the exact same thing happened, just with a different guy. They're a danger to the public and themselves. We must declare war on drugs; let me and my boys eliminate this problem once and for all."
3. "We can find them, and deliver punishment as we see fit, but it will solve nothing," retorts @@RANDOMNAME@@, a social worker. "What we need is social reform. These people need counseling and addiction programs. If we correct the undie lying - I mean, underlying causes of this, we may actually solve the problem, not add wood to the fire. So throw some funding to social services and it will all work out. Now, hold my jacket and clipboard while I go help this man."
4. "I has a much more betterer idea," mumbles the man who caused all this as he scratches what used to be his eyebrows. "Clearly I done messed up. But, if the gub'ment or whoever teach people like me how to make our product all proper like, we won't be getting into messes like this. Allow those expert fellas to teach us stuff on this and all will be good."
5. "To hell with them all!" proclaims @@RANDOMNAME@@, a right-wing radio talk-show host, as @@HE/SHE@@ puts her @@HIS/HER@@ around your shoulder. "These people are nothing but human garbage, and in this instance, a flaming pile thereof! Let them maim or kill themselves; if they all die off, there will be no one to make drugs."
