Aryax wrote:Issue 94 ("Computer Users Fed Up With Heaps of Spam!") seems like it could use some fixes. I've received this issue in this nation, which has the Socialism and Autocracy policies. Now, strictly speaking, I guess spam can exist in non-market economies, but the text of the options seems to assume the opposite:“A ban on all spam is a restriction on our freedom of speech and on the freedom of the press!” screams Stella Abbott, president of Citizens for Internet Freedom. “What is the government to say what is and isn’t commercial spam? Could they haul charity representatives off to jail for seeking donations? Could they jail politicians for using email to try and gain votes? Could they arrest me if I accidentally send my erotic novel-in-progress to the wrong address? Seriously, spamming is a subjective offense and as such should not be considered a crime.”
I get that the speaker is talking about a hypothetical situation, but it still seems out of place given how these two scenarios would not occur in my nation.“Both sides are wrong,” grumbles government paper-pusher Belinda Fox. “Spam is definitely a problem, yet so is the restriction on freedoms which some draconian anti-spam codes would impose. I propose a ban on overtly fraudulent spam, and a tax on more legitimate businesses that rely on spam as an advertising method, and a strict legal definition of spam that would ensure no innocent person was prosecuted or taxed.”
This option is presumably a more borderline case, though.
Thank you. Going forward, this issue will only be available to capitalist nations. Additionally, I made a new version of the second option for nations that don't have elections.

Again, I've received this issue (#457) in this nation under the same conditions, and the premise just seems strange for a Socialist nation:After a slow news week, one of your aides brought to your attention the controversy surrounding Violetstone National Park. Well-known information technology tycoon Edward Rump recently revealed proposals to purchase the land and intends to carve the faces of former leaders into Mount Rushless, a site revered by many Native Aryaxians.
My question is, how? For one, Mr. Rump here has to be a foreigner if he's a tycoon, as there is no private enterprise in Aryax. But even then, how can he purchase the land in a nation with no private land ownership?
Yes, he is a foreigner, and he can purchase the land directly from the government (if you choose to allow that).
