Draft 1:
Title: Museum or Mothball?
Prerequisites: Must have an above average military
Issue: Following the decommissioning of an old battleship, officials are debating what to do with the vessel.
Option 1: “This is a perfect opportunity!” shouts out @@RANDOMNAME@@, one of your Tourism Ministers. “How about we turn this slice of history into an attraction! Think about it- a giant roller coaster that surrounds the entire boat! It’ll bring all the @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ to us!”
Effect: Nothing says military superiority like carnival games and theme park rides.
Option 2: “That’s ridiculous.” replies @@RANDOMNAME_2@@, a representative from an allied nation, “We’ve been edging to get our hands on one of these for years. Why don’t you sell it to us instead? And… maybe anything else you don't want as well?”
Effect: The @@NAME@@ military auctions off anything that wasn’t produced this week.
Option 3: “What, so they can use it against us one day?” interjects @@RANDOMNAME_3@@, renowned economist and penny-pincher, “We’ll get the most benefit from scrapping this old hunk o’ junk. It’s about time we get something useful out of these @@CURRENCY@@-vacuums.”
Effect: @@NAME@@ is now faced with an abundance of scrap metal.
Option 4: “Why has she been decommissioned in the first place?” asks @@RANDOMNAME_4@@, a top general in the Navy, “You never know. What if we're suddenly down a vessel? I say we keep it in reserve until we need it. After all, isn't age just some silly number?”
Effect: The most expensive ships in @@NAME@@ are those that don’t leave the port.
Scrapped, ironically.
