New Croutonia Decides: Supreme Court Nomination

The Issue
The death of 108 year old Supreme Court Justice Roger Mistletoe has created an opening on the bench. Below are the possible nominees.

The Debate
Akira Johnson, the Former CEO of New Croutonia Products, says "I have long sat by and watched our government vicously attack the big businesses in this country. The government has no right to control businesses and I will adopt that position in all of my judgements."
[Accept]


Reverend Roxanne Dredd is nominee #2. The Reverend says "I am sick and tired of the liberals in this country ruining our family values. Every day they assault our basic sense of decency. You must vote for me to keep our families safe. Think of the children!"
[Accept]


Gay Activist and former Senator Clint Barry is nominee #3. "Our people aren't happy, we need more freedom, we need more civil rights. We must keep the government out of the bedroom. We must respect peoples right to privacy and remember that personal relations are just that, personal."
[Accept]


Environmental Activist Freddy Utopia argues, "Our government has been constantly violating Mother Earth and her rights, all our politicians talk about are civil rights, civil rights this, civil rights that, blah blah blah, we aren't important, what is important is the Earth!"
[Accept]


The last nominee is the retired Five Star General May Washington. "We are ridiculed throughout the international community for our low quality weaponry, our police and military numbers are not sufficient. Our military must be protected from both constitutional and civilian oversight. They should be given money, and a free hand."
[Accept]


Finally, a tomato flies by your head flung by an angry protester. "We want to elect our own judges! This is a democracy! More power to the people! We don't want a lapdog! Separation of Powers! Get the government out of the judicial system!" He chucks another tomato at you before security escorts him out of your private office.
[Accept]

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

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.

Ja, maar dit bepaalt waarschijnlijk wat er in de eerste alinea van de beschrijving van je land staat, niet wat er in de derde alinea staat dat vrij snel weer verdwijnt, denk ik. Net als het verdelen van de jaarlijkse budgetten, krijg je ook meer keuzes dan 3.

The Empire of Bahvianie is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning gnoe population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bahvianie's national animal is the gnoe and its currency is the gnoe.

The People's Republic of TransCyberia is a large, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 40 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2%. A robust private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Gambling.

Child labor has been outlawed, teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late, people caught mistreating TransCyberia's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime is a major problem. TransCyberia's national animal is the Cyberat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the cyberion.
