Hello, Nation States. I am sure that many people here have submitted issues, and I am about to submit my first issue. I scoured all of the FAQ's and the "guidelines" page, but I am a little bit worried about three things. ONE: Is my format correct? TWO: Is an issue that is very similar to this in existence already? THREE: Is my issue too biased in any way? I know that I may have exaggerated in a way or two, but many issues on NS are like that.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
Name: @@CAPITAL@@ Suburbs Expand Into Yonder?

Options:
[option]"@@NAME@@'s Trout-Fishing Industry has so much potential, yet it is so neglected," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, head of @@NATION@@'s largest Trout Fishing industry. "What we need to do is make this flatland into a nature preserve. We can start by digging a few ponds. We can then make a dock, and my company can open up an office a little bit down the road, and my... er... @@NAME@@'s Trout Fishing Industry will be booming!"
[effect]Citizens spend every spare second at @@NAME@@'s new fishing ponds

[option]"Oh, BROTHER! Not these lunatics again," says minister of commerce @@RANDOMNAME@@, giving you several bags of the most expensive clothes. "If I want fish, then I will go to the market! I say that we give the people something that they can enjoy! I already have the plans for a modern retail/tourism district. Sure, it will be expensive to build, but it will get these kids off of there fancy smart phones and cause them to be social again. What do we have to lose?"
[effect]Children from all corners of @@NAME@@ spend every free second at the mall with their friends.

[option]"Fishing? Shopping? Living in a secure environment period?! NONE OF THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE MILITARY!" says Drill Sargent @@RANDOMNAME@@. "This piece of land is the perfect size, and we are running out of room at our other training facilities. We need to turn this land into military training grounds! While we are at it, why not our funding? NOW DROP AND GIVE ME FIFTY!"

[option]"Yes! Let the GOVERNMENT decide what is going to be built! Letting the Urban Planners decide should be built would make WAY too much sense" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, head of @@NAME@@'s largest Urban Planning company. "No offense to our government. They have done a fine job. Deciding what gets placed where is not their place, though. Us planners can duke with the situation."
