[title] Crossing the Line
[desc] This morning a group of @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ hunters chased a flock of geese across the Brancalandian border. Alarmed by the presence of a dozen men with rifles and disturbed from their daily syrup-ingesting contest, local Brancalandian ranchers attempted to apprehend the hunters. Startled in turn by the shotgun-bearing farmers running at them, the hunters resisted, and the situation quickly escalated with the ranchers surrounding and confining the hunters after a brief shootout. Outraged, the Brancalandian Prime Minister has called on you to get a hold of your citizens and stop the situation from spiraling out of control.
[validity] Has guns, hunting, no Autarky(op. 2)
[option] "@@LEADER@@, I present Operation Maple Extract." says Deputy Security Advisor @@RANDOMNAME@@ as @@HE@@ slides you a file covered in a sticky substance. "We'll deploy two Black @@ANIMAL@@ helicopters to withdraw the hunters under the cover of night. No countryside syrup-sucker'd dare shoot at a chopper. As for potential political ramifications... Well, that's what we have a diplomacy department for, right?"

[option] "What? No! We need to teach these idiot Brancalandians a lesson!" exclaims your brother as he breaks free from the several officials trying to hold him down. "These Brancalandians are trapping our people for no good reason, and their stupid whiny voices just make me want to pummel them into the ground! We need to send in the military to retrieve these patriots — and who knows, maybe the boys'll get some target practice on the way in. That'll teach those syrup sucking yokels..." He grins wildly while your Minister of Diplomacy cries in the corner.
[effect] @@LEADER@@ haphazardly declares war on the nation's neighbors
[option] "What the hell is wrong with you people?" rages the Brancalandian ambassador as he barges into the room. "Sorry, my temper tends to flare in stressful situations. Seriously though — I'm sure this was all a misunderstanding, but these people are here illegally! I'm sorry, but we can't just let them shoot at us and get away with it — you need to tell these people to put down their arms, and allow our law enforcement to arrest them. What kind of blithering idiot doesn't know where the border is anyway? Sorry, that was my temper again."
[effect] @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ captured by foreign terrorist regimes can expect no help from their government
