I like the fact that the main page of your nation says "the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Dumb Ideologies after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax."

I got the one about having a kid. My main page now says: "and tabloids coo over Chief Makes Childrens's expected child."


edit: forgot the part of the issue saying . Maxford University demographer and suspected eugenicist Stefanie Sparkle disagrees. "The fact is our nation is overflowing with young ne'er do wells. They commit more crimes, are more prone to rudeness, and worst of all are least likely to care about your good works, Chief Makes Childrens. We have to send the message that we are going to do something about the troublesome demographics, and a good place to start is by you staying childless. And if we really want to crack down on population growth, we need to double down on border security too."

Ew. Last year I had to write out a VBA Macro from scratch for a spreadsheet. Was a bit smug about it as it only took me a day to learn the syntax, but never again. I hate hate hate visual basic. It is the bane of my life. It stalks my every job now in some form or another.
