This is a Modern-Tech nation. We only put a satellite and a man into space so far.
We are a Middle power, so if we die, so will some of the global economy.
We have the 8th largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. (RL world)

I love how matter of factly this is presented.
My biggest concern is the validity. Why so many combinations of aspects? I don't think there are many nations that fulfill all of those criteria. Nations that only have private business is the one that I think should go first. You don't need that much, I'd say 10% private business, before some morally grey contract is sealed. How is open borders and foreigners relent if you just have your Shylock and Antonio be citizens of @@NAME@@.

I agree prisons should be there, although I'd specifically have it in the description that Grant's in prison at this second. Private industry being there is obvious.
The other thing I was wondering was the possibility of another option, but maybe that would follow the storyline of the Merchant of Venice too much. The ''Sure, Goldkey is completely allowed to get Grant's flesh as per contract. But we'll have to charge him with murder/assault afterwards based on a technicality." Very devious, and would put Goldkey in an awkward position. But then again, this is the solution proposed in the original play.

There is no logical connect between protesting "such an unrefined method of punishment" (which implies contrast with other methods of punishment which are sufficiently refined) and banishing any form of punishment whatsoever (or at least the most common and normal form of punishment for serious crimes in civilized countries).Singapore no2 wrote:[option][...]"If your honour permits the prosecution to carry out such an unrefined method of punishment, the law could be used as a tool for more harm than good."[...]
[effect]All criminals have been released, as jails are deemed "uncivilized"
Ah, but you don't let just any random civilian carry out an execution, even if a prisoner is sentenced to death. Shylock/Boldkey isn't a licensed agent of the law, now is he?Singapore no2 wrote:Actually, in a proper "modern" court proceeding, the person dispensing the punishment should be given complete immunity, so in reality, Shylock would not be charged with murder, because prison executioners don't get hung either, right?

So he would have to find a licensed agent of the law to remove the pound of flesh. Except, oh wait, there are no agents licensed to do that, because that isn't a valid punishment codified in the law.

This is a cruel and baseless trap for players thinking that they're picking the "sane" option.

Effect texts are sometimes whimsical or slightly exaggerated, but they should be broadly in line with what's actually happening. An effect line shouldn't say you're releasing all criminals from prison unless you're actually aboloshing prisons (as can already be done via #043 option 2 and #159 option 2, and reversed through #199 option 1, all of which are clear about what they're doing in the option text).Kesshite wrote:The effect text allows perverse outcomes.

I like this one. Very close to the actual thing in the play.
Personally I'd have the deceitful nature of the 4th option be a bit more explicit, but that might just be my own tastes. As I said earlier, I like how everyone (except Grant, who's interrupted anyway) is very matter of fact and dry about the whole scenario, and that last one is true to that.
Other than that, this thing looks pretty good to go. I noticed you had put the validity to a sort that is both expected, and opens it up to a lot of nations. Good job. I wish this one well.
