After scientists in the @@DEMONYM@@ National Space Agency discovered a new planet in our solar system, your advisors have been debating what to name it.
Option 1: "This is a fantastic find," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, the head of the team that discovered the planet. "If you don't mind, I believe my team should receive the naming rights. After all, we discovered it. It's only right that this eons-old space object be named by us. After all, we're the ones that stumbled across it. Nevermind the fact that we only discovered it by accident while looking for something else in the completely wrong place!"
Outcome: Planets are named by the people that discovered them.
Option 2: "This planet was discovered by a team working for the @@DEMONYM@@ Government. It's only right that naming rights should belong to the people," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a direct democracy advocate. "The name should be decided by a public referendum, with choices submitted by the public. It's the only way to ensure the people have their say!"
Outcome: space objects have names such as "Steve Wuz Here" and "$#!% World"
Validity: In World Assembly
Option 3: "No one country should have the rights to name something they don't own," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, an ambassador from a distant, developing country. "On behalf of my government, I request you let an international body, such as the World Assembly, decide on the name. After all, scientific achievements should belong to everyone."
Outcome: some space objects have unpronouncable, foreign names.
Option 4: "The only clear option is to let the legislature pick the name," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, the Majority Leader of the Senate. "We name post offices, why not space objects?"
Outcome: the latest source of gridlock in Congress is over what to name a planet.
Option 5: "We must use this opportunity to honor the heavens," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, head of @@RELIGION@@. "Besides, all planets in our solar system are named after religious figures and deities. Why should this be any different? Allow the clergy to choose the name, and we will surely earn divine favors!"
Outcome: Religious institutions are responsible for naming scientific achievements.
Option 6: "All of this debate, when the obvious answer is right in front of you," says your brother, whispering in your ear while everyone else argues amongst themselves. "You, @@LEADER@@, are the glorious leader of our nation, and your achievements are planetary in size. Why not cement your name in the history books by naming something as big as a planet after yourself? You've earned it!"
Outcome: the newest planet in the solar system is named "@@LEADER@@".
