Have no fear, peace loving people of Gwaltopia. Kayland is currently suffering a shortage of Prozac, which makes invasion unlikely for quite some time.
Also, intelligence sources reveal that Dictator Thug was accidentally locked in a hall closet by himself for over 2 hours this morning...the results were grisly. Having no one else around to bully, he beat himself up pretty badly. He is currently hospitalized in critical condition.

The nation of Randomthugonia has been supplying the Rogue Nation Kayland with arms for some time now. It is only a matter of time before Gwaltopia is annexed and the holy land of Ummah is destroyed. Those who will ally with either will reach a very simular fate.

The good people of Gwaltopia will call upon the spirits of their ancestors, who will rise up to defend our peaceful island from all invaders! The Ghost Way and Lazy Bear ceremonies have already taken place! No violence on our shores will be tolerated, lest you find yourselves mere dung beetles in the great Bear Poop Pile of Eternity!
Our ancestors also say that the people of Randomthugonia are just a bunch of bed-wetters that can be ignored.

Incidentally, under settings, you can change it so that the game gives you one or two issues a day.

What if their ruler *ahem* randomthug *ahem* already claims himself to be like Hitler? Does that mean we
have to attack?

The Holy Empire of Audace
"The sanctity of poverty is an invention of the Rich"
UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Some
Location: the Pacific
The Holy Empire of Audace is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A healthy private sector is led by the Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.
Crime is a serious problem. Audace's national animal is the rattus domesticus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the florin.

The Empire of Dave-rovia
UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Some
Location: SYM
The Empire of Dave-rovia is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A large private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Book Publishing and Woodchip Exports.
Crime is a problem. Dave-rovia's national animal is the beaver and its currency is the davema.

"Inoffensive"? Dammit!

The Empire of Lord Stalker
"Wasn't my fault"
UN Catagory: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms Below Average
Location SYM
The Empire of Lord Stalker is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A robust private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Soda Sales.
Surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a serious problem. Lord Stalker's national animal is the turkey and its currency is the beer cap.
1% income tax. Better start selling arms to other nations

Well, if it's RandomThug, you're also allowed to taunt him viciously.

The Republic of The Tyrant Weasel. Update
*Major fluke on the horzion. Elected (by advise of my Advisor) to not allow the sell of body parts...driving my Economy to Fragile. Stop gap measure are being put in place! Sending wife to donate a kidney as we speak!
**The Dictatorship of Randomthugonia has violated peace accords. Calls on all peace loving folks to boycott the blood thirsty wolf!
***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
"People are sick of dirty, smelly automobiles," said protest organizer Freddy McAlpin. "They're choking the city, the environment--our lives! Cars must be banned!"
[Accept]
"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 Miranda King. "People shouldn't be able to protest like this. The government needs to crack down on them."
[Accept]
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."
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

I have a bad feeling option #1 will send my country spiraling into tax oblivion.
Option #3..I see no reason to give money for nothing. The Automotive Manufacturers Association were one of the companies advising not to sell body parts as well. (Plus their donation to my election bid was low)
Leaning towards option #2..kill the long-haired idiots.

Some people say Lord Stalker's policy on free speech has gone too far.
The Debate
"These days, anyone says whatever they want with no regard to what kind of dribble is coming out of their mouths!" says angry commuter Charles Trax. "It's gone too far. We should go back to the good old days, when if someone started talking garbage, we'd smack them one."
[Accept]
"We need more free speech, not less," argues civil rights campaigner Jennifer Barry. "Free speech allows ideas to be explored, challenged, and discussed in a productive, open forum. It teaches our kids to be critical thinkers. And dirty words, of course, but that's just the price you pay."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"The right to free speech is a central tenet of our system of democracy," says religious leader Colin McGuffin. "But surely the right to not have your religious beliefs mocked by others is worth something, too? We mustn't put up with intolerance!"

@Tyrant Weasel. Well, you must rule as you see fit. I hope it all works out for you.
On another note, I see that crime in Gwaltopia has become almost non-existent! However, elections have been outlawed and Political Freedoms are now below average....

The Free Land of Casio Tones Update
Economy upgraded to
strong. Boosting up the Automobile Industry is paying off in spades. Yes, a Lemon in Every Garage.
Drug Laws: Non-existent. Planning on taxing Hemp Traders.
Crime: Rampant. Prisons non-existent. Why, you ask? Violent criminals offered positions in the military. Kleptomaniacs exported to Kayland. Psychotics given a one way ticket to Randomthugonia. Sex offenders sent Lord Stalker's way.
Overall plan: Moving along nicely.

The Issue
Scientists using cloned human embryos for research are on the verge of a medical breakthrough.
The Debate
"It's really very exciting," says lab head Buffy du Pont. "Until now, we've kept very quiet, to avoid being targeted by lunatic fringe groups who for some reason think it's wrong to clone human embryos. It's too early to promise anything, but we hope that one day we will have genetic cures for a whole range of debilitating illnesses. I certainly hope the government will support our work."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"Well, if you have to be part of a lunatic fringe group to object to this barbaric practice, I'm a lunatic," says placard-waving protestor Pip Dodinas. "Of course it would be nice to cure these unnamed diseases, but at what cost? They're messing with the sanctity of human life. It's wrong, and the lab should be shut down immediately."
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 1.
It seems the influx of loony's from Chanaks Nation have made suitable hosts for scientific experiments.
Soon.. .muaha
