The Emirate of Zazzizi
"Make war, not love!"

UN Category: Corrupt Dictatorship
Civil Rights:Below Average
Economy:Imploded
Political Freedoms:Unheard Of

Location: Fok
Regional Influence: Envoy

The Emirate of Zazzizi is a huge, safe nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, cynical population of 269 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Women who display their ankles are shunned by society, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zazzizi's national animal is the djuk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the obozo.

Zazzizi is ranked 2nd in the region and 18,354th in the world for Most Corrupt Governments.

The Republic of Arielas
"Be free be smart"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights:Very Good
Economy:Strong
Political Freedoms:Very Good

Location: the South Pacific

Regional Influence: Minnow

he Republic of Arielas is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Defence, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 11%. A healthy private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

New Croutonia Decides: Dangerously Cheesy


The Issue
The popular daily cartoon strip "Barry the Wabbit" has always been highly critical of the political system within New Croutonia, but in recent weeks the cartoon has depicted the main characters throwing melted cheese at unpopular politicians. Inspired by this, protestors armed with fondue sets stormed a government building, cheesing off several government officials.


The Debate
"It's just a bit of harmless fun!", says Zeke Utopia, creator of Barry the Wabbit, while spraying your advisors with melted cheddar. "If the government were doing a better job people wouldn't feel the need to throw cheese at them. We should be free to express our displeasure in any way we choose. Besides, my cartoon books are selling like hot cakes, and that's got to be good for the economy, right?"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

"This has got to stop!" insists Jean-Paul Wong, head of the censorship board. "I spent 3 hours this morning scraping wensleydale out of my hair! Arrest these lunatics! The protestors and the people responsible for this vile cartoon, throw them all into jail!"
[Accept]

"Arrrrrgh!" screams lactose-intolerant Prudence Fellow, a member of the public safety board, as incoming rounds of mature gouda smash the windows and claim the suits of several nearby advisors. "As I've been saying for many years now, cheese is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands and should be outlawed. Ban all cheese now, and enforce it!"
[Accept]


The Government Position
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 1.

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.

The Issue

It's time for the government to allocate spending for the coming year, and as always, special interest groups are keen to have their say.
The Debate

1. "The state of the education system is, in many areas, simply frightful," says Teachers Union leader Freddy Utopia. "And even where we are doing well, we could do better. I appeal to the authorities for a substantial boost in funding. Remember, the children are our future."
[Accept]

2. "We won't have a future unless we improve police numbers and rebuild the military," says General Al Silk. "Oh, it's all well and good to have your fancy education and your nice cars, until some tinpot dictatorship decides to invade. And don't pretend like there aren't any of them in our region. Our number one priority has to be security."
[Accept]

3. "Education is nice, but Health and Social Welfare are more important," says celebrity social worker Pete Steele. "This is where the people who really need government help are: the marginalized of our society. If we don't help them, what kind of a nation are we?"
[Accept]

4. "Hey, I've got a crazy idea," says noted libertarian and bird-watcher Buy Christmas. "How about the government stops taking so much tax from people? Give us a tax cut and we'll buy the things we need ourselves. People need to be weaned off the government teat!"

The Issue
The Batter Up! Baseball League has begun to grow in popularity and is now seeking government support in establishing teams and stadiums throughout the nation.

The Debate
"Holy cow, is this gonna be great!" hollers BUBL President and sports nut Melbourne Licorish, wearing a fashionable giant foam finger on his right hand. "Baseball is just what Zazzizi needs right now! Think about it: soda, popcorn, hot dogs... oh, and I'm sure the economy will benefit somehow, too! All we need is the government funding to build stadiums and teams, and we'll be on every TV and in every city in the country!"
[Accept]


"You're going to spend the taxpayer's money on WHAT?" counters Minister of Finance Johann Licorish, from a newly furnished office. "I mean, I love playing a good game of baseball every now and then, but does the government really need to go around supporting this? The only people that are going to benefit are a bunch of fat-cat burger vendors and bored hicks with nothing better to do on Sunday afternoon!

New Croutonia Decides: A Request For Military Aid


The Issue

A small nameless nation within your sphere of influence has gone on a genocidal rampage within its own borders, ridding itself of what their Supreme Ruler For All Eternity, Emperor Bianca Wu, refers to as 'those pesky Bigtopians'. Some escaped refugees are requesting that your government do something to end the slaughter of millions.


The Debate

"They're killing everyone!" gasps Anne-Marie Nagasawa, one of the refugees. "I implore you to please intervene and stop this murder of my people! If New Croutonia has any compassion at all then it must help us! With these madmen out of power we can finally go about rebuilding our nation as a land of justice and freedom!"
[Accept]


"Woah, woah, we can't just go around being a knight in shining armour for every random hell-hole on this planet," says Gregory du Pont, your minister of Foreign Relations. "Should we send citizens of New Croutonia into war just so we can save a bunch of foreigners? I don't think so! Now, I'm no xenophobe, but I've gotta ask: what's in it for us? Nothing but the death of our soldiers and criticism from the rest of the region, that's what. Trouble is we're getting too much of a reputation for having a big army. So drop some of our military funding and let them fight their own wars. It's got nothing to do with us."
[Accept]


"Well, maybe this nation does have something we need, sir," says Gregory Washington, your Military Advisor, while perusing a giant map of New Croutonia. "We're fast running out of land and resources here, so why not invade this place, kick out whoever's in power there, and take over? We've got the military power, so why wait? If any of those hippies in the region have somethin' to say about it, they can say hello to our missile programmes, haha!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


"They have as much right to their own internal politics as we do," says activist and peacenik Billy Christmas. "While their actions may be deplorable by our standards, we can't intervene unless the legitimate government requests it. It's just an invitation to anarchy on an international scale, and nobody but a few crackpots want that."

An anonymous society of 'cinematic aficionados' have brought the debate over the proposed disposal of the watershed, the hour after which adult material is allowed to be shown on television, to your attention.
The Debate

1. "We don't need a watershed!" scoffs 'romantic-movie' buff, Buffy Summers. "I don't see why I should wait 'til way past midnight to watch my preferred film genre. It's high time that parents stopped treating their children like... well, children! If you sugar-coat these kids' lives, they'll just end up seeing everything through rose-tinted glasses - and we can't have a country filled with spoilt brats now, can we?"
[Accept]

2. "This is an endorsement of bad taste if ever I saw it," says Akira Jones, a child-care worker. "It's just wrong to subject children to graphic violence and nudity on afternoon television like this: who knows what it might possess them to do? We've all heard stories of kids who have seen some film where someone jumped off a cliff and then gone off to have a shot themselves. We must ban all violent and salacious material from our TV screens. If only to protect the innocence of our progeny!"

It's time for the government to hire a new religious advisor. Your people have narrowed down the candidates to:

1. Catholic Archbishop Jack Christmas: boasts an excellent track record, having rapidly increased church attendances in his constituencies through the "Reaching God Through Guilt" program. Seen as a solid choice.
[Accept]

2. New Age thinker Klaus Barry: a left-field candidate with some radical ideas. "For me, it's not about the name of your religion. It's about discovering your spirituality in whatever guise that takes. Some people call that a cult: I call it taking spirituality to the people."
[Accept]

3. Finally, there's Aaron Jong-Il. "If I am awarded the appointment, I will immediately resign," the ex-schoolteacher has declared. "Because, frankly, God is a big load of hokey. I'll be doing everyone a favor by just shutting up about it."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

Homos On The Dinner Table?
The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Zazzizi's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that homos could be added to the menu.
The Debate

1. "The fact is, the homo population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Billy Clinton. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have homo kebabs, homo pies, homo-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
[Accept]

3. "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Abraham Longbottom. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The homos were here first, remember?

The Issue

Citizens staged a mass protest against 'monolithic' tax rates after the government recently instituted the 'Anything That's Purple' tax.
The Debate

1. "The tax situation in Zazzizi is ridiculous," says Colin Steele at the protest. "The taxes keep getting piled on and yet - I haste to add - the government doesn't seem to realise that with a 100% tax rate, they already have all our money! We've been reduced to bartering for goodness sake! I haven't seen a travestiet in years! It's bad for Zazzizi, but more importantly, it's bad for business. We must take huge cuts out of the government budget. Even if it does mean less education, healthcare, and whatnot."
[Accept]

2. "You can't!" cries Melbourne Longfellow, the National Treasurer. "They don't seem to realise that if we cut taxes, it will drastically underfund our public services! All our environmental work, our education system, our healthcare system - all will go kaput! Zazzizi depends on these taxes, we need the money! Don't let the people fritter it away on luxuries, 'cos they'll soon be complaining about there not being enough policemen on the beat. We'll tax the shirts off their backs and they'll be damn well happy about it!"

An Archaeological Altercation
The Issue

During the construction of a new Hyper-Mega-Ultra-Super Mall, construction workers have unearthed what appears to be an ancient temple. A furious debate has arisen between those who wish to preserve it, and those who need their retail therapy.
The Debate

1. "This is the perfect opportunity to learn more of our nation's history!" says Professor Peggy O'Bannon, head of the archaeological department of the Zazzizi History Museum. "All building work must be halted immediately so that my team can study this remarkable piece of our nation's past. To bury these ruins under some concrete eyesore would be criminal!"
[Accept]

2. "It's all very nice to get to know some more about our past," argues foreman Lars Utopia. "But that's just the thing! It's the past! We must think of the future.

3. "Behold, the hour has arrived! The Holy Temple of Firefury Amahira has been unearthed!" proclaims Yon-Zhauryg v'Klot, leader of the Cult of the Undead Homo. "This land is sacred, and must not be befouled by these corporations! No-one but the enlightened children of Firefury must be allowed to venture inside our rediscovered sanctuary, where we will perform the required rituals to please the Great Goddess and prevent Her from unleashing Her wrath upon the world."

Women Demand Equal Opportunities
The Issue

The women of Abacadabra are demanding an end to wage discrimination in the workplace.
The Debate

1. "The government must put a stop to businesses discriminating against women when they apply for a job!" chants Randy Hanover, a ferocious supporter of women's rights. "Did you know that on average men in Abacadabra earn four times the amount that women do for doing the same job?! For too long has the female race been discriminated against in our society due to their sex! We demand equal wages, equal opportunities, and equal respect for women and we demand them now!"
