A More Perfect Union
Validity: Cannot have high Foreign Aid.
Description
The tiny nation of Browkes-Tate has long maintained close cultural ties with @@NAME@@. However, a prolonged famine and multiple armed conflicts have left the nation on the verge of economic and societal collapse. In a shocking turn of events, their government has proposed that the two nations be united under your leadership.
Option 1
"@@LEADER@@, we implore you to consider our offer," pleads @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, Prince of Browkes and ruler of the nation in question, literally groveling at your feet. "A complete unification would show the world that you are a wise and diplomatic leader, and would prevent a massive refugee crisis. We have long existed under your sphere of influence, and many of my people are yearning to join your great land. I would even sacrifice my title for an end to this nightmare."
Effect: 'put it on their tab' is a common statement from the nation's territorial acquisitions
Option 2
"Autonomy means autonomy," counters Foreign Minister Larissa Fey, exiting her disorganized mess of an office. "These people's current situation is their responsibility and theirs alone. Quite frankly, I don't see why we should waste our time and money helping them out, much less letting them join us. We should be focusing on improving the lives of our own people, instead of bailing out the incompetent government of a failing nation with nothing to offer us."
Effect: diplomatic talks fall apart when @@LEADER@@ doesn't like the shape of the table
Option 3
"What are you talking about? These... 'people' have plenty to offer us!" exclaims your brother, making whipping motions at your secretary. "They have raw materials, land, and lots of nice, supple human resources ripe for the taking! It's not like they're in a position to refuse. We'll let them join us, then bleed 'em for every last drop!" He collapses on the floor giggling.
Effect: @@DENOMYNPLURAL@@ complain about having to compete with enslaved foreigners for jobs
