I guess it depends on how much of an actual video game it is. I suppose, technically...

I'm sorry for being off-topic, but wouldn't this be better suited in Video Game Chat?

You can move it if you want. It's technically a browser game.

Hyuck!

Forget Video Game Chat - if Weegee keeps his color commentary up, this will belong in NatDT.

EDIT: Yet another disgustingly black and white set of opinions:

The Issue

Children as young as eight have been spotted gambling in some of Totallyradicalia's seedier casinos.

The Debate

1. Social activist Billy Clinton is outraged. "Gambling needs to be outlawed immediately. It's no wonder children are becoming sucked into the vice, with adults setting such a poor example. Gambling is a stain on Totallyradicalia's international reputation and it must be stopped!"

2. However, Crown Casino chairperson Stephanie Mistletoe says, "What's wrong with children gambling? It prepares them for the realities of life, teaching them that success or failure is not due to hard work or intelligence, but the roll of the dice. Besides, if kids weren't gambling, they'd be spraypainting trains."

The Government Position

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

Seriously, what is up here? What if I want to keep gambling legal, but perhaps require ID of some sort? It's like outlawing all alcoholic beverages for responsible people just because some stupid kids got drunk.

I chose option #2 for that one. It makes the country more money, so any and all negatives are automatically outweighed.

Anyone know if there are negative repercussions to dismissing issues? Because I think I'm going to end up doing that a lot.

EDIT: Who's the new guy?

Please welcome our region's newest nation, the Republic of Libernavia. It's a small, frigid nation in which practically anything imaginable is legal as long as it doesn't offend minorities. Citizens who oppose Libernavia's recent legalization of marijuana and hookers are deemed as "moralist scum" (or, as they're known in Libernavian, "svensen herpde horken borken"), and are subsequently shunned by society. Average income tax rates are expected to reach their target of 60% by 2014.

Anyone besides PL and myself still playing this?

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #23 on:** September 11, 2010, 10:57:33 PM »

Actually TK I've stopped playing too, hahaha. College life and all.

Weegee · « **Reply #24 on:** September 12, 2010, 12:14:45 AM »

I haven't touched it in two weeks.

It's kind of annoying that issues don't really take previous issues into account. For example, why am I dealing with a public breastfeeding debate when I legalized public nudity months ago?

Weegee · « **Reply #26 on:** September 18, 2010, 06:26:53 PM »

Screw my other two nations; juggling between them was far too much hassle. I now only represent the hippie dictatorship of Du-kar.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 09, 2010, 10:53:07 AM »

Come on, you guys, this takes literally less than a minute to play daily. Or even less.

Weegee · « **Reply #28 on:** October 14, 2010, 09:35:13 PM »

THE ISSUE: There is a growing call within Du-kar to abolish smoking in public areas

> "Get your hands off my [bundle of sticks]!" wheezes long-time smoker Buffy Frederickson.

Weegee · « **Reply #29 on:** October 19, 2010, 10:52:14 PM »

Du-kar is now investing billions of dollars into the search for our extraterrestrial bretheren. The nation's economy is driven solely by fourteen-yeard-olds operating lemonade stands, so that industry will soon see massive tax hikes in order to fund this all-important alien research.

EDIT: 61% income tax rate. :3
