Corporations Demand Political Say is an issue that deals with campaign contributions from corporations. This issue was one of the original issues developed by Max Barry. Like many of the early issues, this issue includes real-life references, in this case to Congress, and makes assumptions on players' national structures. This should not imply that all nations really have a legislative body called "Congress". This is one of several NationStates issues focusing on elections and the nature of democracy.

Issue

As crime rates rise, some in the community are calling for increased policing.

Options

  1. "Just the other day, I got mugged in the broad daylight!" says ruffian @@RANDOMNAME@@. "And the ironic thing is I had just stuck up this other guy. When muggers are getting mugged, even I have to admit that crime has gotten out of control. We do need more police."
  2. "The solution to crime is not more police!" says noted sociologist and occasional crime novelist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Studies repeatedly show that crime is caused by poverty and poor education. Increase government spending in these areas, and crime will fall! Maybe not overnight, but it will happen."
  3. "Yeah, good luck with that," says conservative leader and gun enthusiast @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Look, we do need more police, that's clear. But that's not enough. We need real punishments: sentences that will act as a genuine deterrent to people considering a life of crime. Like public floggings."
