Hi, this is my first time writing an issue. I'm pretty new to NationStates and just reached the population requirement of 250 million a few days ago. I hope this is how you're supposed to do it, if not please point that out. If you would care to give feedback and tell me where there's room for improvement I would greatly appreciate it.
[title] @@NAME@@-Dàguó war?
[desc] @@NAME@@'s relations with the militaristic, warmongering nation of Dàguó were not so good to begin with, but with the recent disappearance of Dàguó leader @@RANDOMNAME_1@@'s daughter while she was supposedly on vacation in @@NAME@@, things have taken a turn for the worse. The @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Intelligence Agency reports Dàguó's mass mobilization of soldiers, weapons and even mobile ICBMs to the @@NAME@@-Dàguò border. Your military officers, advisors and Dàguó diplomats gather at a meeting to discuss this matter.
[validity] Always valid.
[option]Violent and bloodthirsty @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ 5-star General @@RANDOMNAME_2@@ pounds his muscular fist on the table, which cracks upon his strength. "They want war, so be it! Gather the troops and invade- uh, liberate Dàguó." @@HE_2@@ looks directly at you, fire burning in @@HIS_2@@ eyes. "With your permission, @@LEADER@@, I will lead the charge myself."
[effect]@@NAME@@ is at war with Dàguó
[option]Nuclear physicist and military scientist @@RANDOMNAME_3@@ waddles into your meeting, wearing an originally white, now scorched lab coat and smouldering, half molten safety goggles. "Hey guys, check out my new antimatter bomb. Capable of vaporizing anything within a 30 kilometer radius, this bad boy will put nukes to shame!" @@HE_3@@ pauses, trying to recall what the meeting was about. "Oh yeah! You wanna attack Dàguó, right? Perfect chance to test out my bomb! It is a work in progress and might explode anytime, but this is in the interest of science! And national security."
[effect]@@NAME@@ uses neighbouring nations as testing grounds for experimental weapons of mass destruction
[option]An air vent on the roof of the meeting room clatters to the ground. A figure wearing a futuristic suit of body armor and wielding a deadly-looking automatic rifle rappels down. After swiftly executing a tactical summersault, he scans the room for potential threats. "Operator #1047 of @@NAME@@ Special Operations Command," the figure introduces itself, still pointing its gun at random people in the room. "I come here to deliver a message from Command: We have a way to resolve the conflict. Just give us the thumbs-up, and you'll never hear from Dàguó's leader @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ again." The figure drops a smoke grenade, and when the smoke clears, it is nowhere to be seen.
[effect]nations that don't play nice with @@NAME@@ often find their leaders mysteriously missing
[option]Well-known pacifist @@RANDOMNAME_4@@ walks past your security, which is preoccupied with a swarm of government critics. In @@HIS_4@@ hand is a pistol replica with a crudely bent barrel. "What is this I hear? Invasions? Nukes? Assassinations?" @@HE_4@@ shakes @@HIS_4@@ head in disbelief. "Why the needless violence? Reduce funding for the military and call off the invasion. Naturally, Dàguó will do the same and we can all be friends."
[effect]with a potential war on the horizon, @@NAME@@ has drastically reduced its defense budget
