So, I just got the Issue "Diamonds are an Expat's Best Friend!", the first issue in the "An International Incident" chain.
According to Sanctaria, every decision affects where the issue will go from here, and I will only get this issue once.
Naturally, I'm a little hesitant to make a choice. Here's the issue in question:
Diamonds Are An Expat's Best Friend!
Issue Series
“An International Incident”
The Issue:
Media outlets have been buzzing about the thousands of children abducted from their remote villages across the exotic nation of Brasilistan, suspected to have been carried out on the order of their own government. Reports are coming in that the abducted children have been sent underground to mine for diamonds, Brasilistan's most precious resource, but military intelligence suggests that some young Excidian citizens living there have fallen to the same fate.
The Debate:
"The Brasilistani government have been pursuing aggressive and provoking policies for years, especially in their attempts to annex their neighbour Marche Noir. Now they're abducting and holding hostage not only their own children, but citizens of other countries!" booms General Heather McAlpin, slamming her fist on the conference table and urgently gesturing to a map on the wall. "We have sat idly by and now it's our people over there waking up in the middle of the night to bombs and soldiers destroying their homes! Leader, we must marshal our forces and intervene with the only language the Brasilistani seem to understand - violence!"
"The good general is surely exaggerating the threat here." Zack Jones, one of your trusted advisers responds calmly while drinking his tea. "Brasilistan is our foremost diamond trade partner, so we must approach the situation with diplomacy and targeted efforts. A knee-jerk military response is the worst thing we could possibly do here. I am confident that with some juicy incentives, the Brasilistani government will discover their error and immediately release our citizens."
