I've just had to lealise harry potter books for a second time, and I don't mind doing it once, maybe even twice, but that book's going down if I have to make the choice again.

The Issue

Several major city streets were clogged with bicycles this morning, as the environmental group 'Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Bad' staged a protest. Several hundred riders ambled through downtown streets, blissfully ignoring the torrent of abuse hurled at them by thousands of motorists running late for work.

The Debate

1. "People are sick of dirty, smelly automobiles," said protest organizer Pip Christmas. "They're choking the city, the environment--our lives! Cars must be banned!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

2. "The only thing people are sick of is long-haired idiots riding their bicycles at two miles an hour on major thoroughfares," says committed motorist George W. Licorish. "People shouldn't be able to protest like this. The government needs to crack down on them."

3. The Automotive Manufacturers Association, meanwhile, has called for government support. "It's clear that we need to boost the level of automobile support in this country. This protest this morning is a clear indication of... um... anyway, we need more government funds."

Perhaps the GHG should just be carried around on a platform like Cleopatra?

And now for a short commercial break from our Sponsor, Mellow Out (TM)...

Introducing the singing lemurs!, Alvin, Theodore & Simon:

I'd like to buy the world a home
and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees,
and snow white turtle doves.

I'd like to teach the world to sing
in perfect harmony,
I'd like the world to drink Mellow Out
and keep it company.

I'd like the world to drink Mellow Out
and keep it company.

I'd like the world to drink Mellow Out
and keep it company.

It's the real thing,
Mellow Out is
what the world needs today...

Late entry

The Free Land of Thedruidgrove
"Freedom, peace and charity"

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

Location: SYM

The Free Land of Thedruidgrove is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning stag population. Its compassionate, 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 enormous government is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Soda Sales industry.

Crime is well under control. Thedruidgrove's national animal is the stag and its currency is the barter.

VoodooDali · Post by **VoodooDali** » Sun Mar 23, 2003 4:00 pm

The HoodooVoodoo Guru of the Rogue Nation of Voodoodaliania would like to welcome the Free Land of Thedruidgrove to the region of SYM. Please accept 20 Chill Pills, a case of Mellow Out (TM) and a pet lemur as a token of our hospitality.

The HVG strongly recommends an alliance with the RNV and Gwaltopia.

..My little country is in trouble

The Free Republic of Bloodonya

"The weak shall not enslave the strong "

UN Category: Anarchy

Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: Excellent

Location: SYM
The Free Republic of Bloodonya is a small, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 12 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Commerce. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery industries.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and Bloodonya's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is crippling. Bloodonya's national animal is the wolverine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the kroog.

Following a lengthy period of heavy negotiation, the party decide to draw lots and Ysh is nominated to step forward and represent the grove, thanking the Hoodoo Voodoo Guru for her warm welcome and kind gifts. In return The Free Land of Thedruidgrove offer a gift of a weeks unlimited use of the grove's natural hot springs, and a set of soft fluffy towels.

The lemur skips gleefully into the sprawling forest.

ROFL! This is a great poll.

18 The Empire of Tropicalis Corporate Police State "Nature conservation today will grant life tomorrow"

Not bad....We are on the bottom half. I like it. Going from 1st on the a good list to 18th on a bad list, Im satisfied thus far.

In other news, we maintain our police state status with dictatorship implications.

And also warmly welcome another eco-aware nation to our midst, The Free Land of Thedruidgrove. In hope that we can be maintain freindly borders and bring a better environmental world, I offer the Free Land of Thedruidgrove, a pair of chipmunks.

The CEO of Bloodonya welcomes the new Free Land of Thedruidgroveland into the comunity of SYm adn sends proposals of trade agreements, and aliance. Accompanying these proposals are gifts of uranium The CEO of Bloodonya regrets not being able to send additional gifts of beef and Pizza, but as the beefs are contaminated by radioactive fall out, and the pizzas are no longer being made due to the inability to find teenagers intelligent enough to drive the delivery cars, uranium is now the only exportable commodoty.

Sincerest regards,

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

The Debate
"Just the other day, I got mugged in the broad daylight!" says ruffian Billy-Bob Longfellow. "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."
[Accept]

"The solution to crime is not more police!" says noted sociologist and occasional crime novelist Fleur Broadside. "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."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

"Yeah, good luck with that," says conservative leader and gun enthusiast Jack King. "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."
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 2.

The Grand Hierophant Gwally and the good people of Gwaltopia welcomes Thedruidgroveland to the Land of SYM. Here, have some nice lemonade.

Word of advice: look out for Kayland and Randomthugonia.

They are pointlessly bellicose.

Also, look out for radioactive fallout from Bloodonia. Apparently it makes her citizens kinda stupid.

uh, did I say death machines? I meant agricultural workers, of course *ahem*
