Is it time to go to war? I'm tempted.

I had that one too. It was great to hear my fascists shouting "You just mad 'cause we stylin' on you!" as their war cry.

At least mine could be a serious war cry. :P Ah hell who am I kidding. I need to come up with something more aggressive.

I dont get how his crappy little nation of 74 million people whose government doesn't spend a dime on defence is more armed than my massive nation of 1.24 billion with a government budget of over 50% for defence. It makes no sense. It's like germany being more armed than 4 USA's.



None.

Apr 7 2011, 9:46 pm Chia-Tyrant Post #189



They're probably referring to civilians being armed. Besides, defense probably covers way more things than just arming soldiers, like developing technologies and whatnot.

Why would population influence the fact that the civilians are armed or not? Some of the determining factors for this could be the freedoms he's given his people, i.e. he allows them to carry weapons and maybe you gave your police force too much power, thus prohibiting regular civilians from owning anything that could be potentially dangerous.

The crime rate could also be a good indicator of this; weapons being more readily available usually means that there's more crime. None of your deaths are attributable to murder whereas his is much higher I believe.

Besides, why would you want your people to be the most armed if you're aiming for a totalitarian dictatorship? You're already generous enough to let them keep the clothes on their backs ^^ .



None.

Apr 7 2011, 10:40 pm Vrael Post #190



I'm not aiming for a totalitarian dictatorship though. I'm simply dictating for a little while to reduce the size of my ugly nasty bigass bureaucratic mess of a government. Once that's cleaned up I'll turn the laws back over to the CEO's of my various corporations.

I'm gonna have to put some government funding into reaching my 10 rifles/citizen goal.



None.

"You're not really going to listen to this nonsense, are you?" says Charles Utopia, CEO of PlastiCorp Industries. "Do you know how much this will hurt the plastic industry? How many people I will need to lay off? How many wazoos I - I mean, SunsSon - will lose? Our economy needs less environmental regulation, not more! Just say no to limits on our plastic bags, and while you're at it loosen up environmental laws for corporations in general. We can't afford to let hippie ideas get in the way of SunsSon's bottom line."

must...deregulate...but...humans...can't be trusted...with...own..liberties.

I'm so conflicted!

I give people liberties because when they screw up, I can take them away. Also, it makes me laugh when they fuck themselves over, without me doing it themselves.

EDIT:

"This idea is brilliant, and Isaiah Mustafa can't afford to pass it up," claims Beth Dredd, your Minister of Safety. "These loudspeakers can assure the public that the government is always here to help them. The potential here, to immediately warn citizens of an emergency such as an earthquake or a stampede of Sexybeasts or something, simply must be taken into account! This could save lives! And I suppose, when there isn't anything the citizens need to be told, you could always use them to broadcast patriotic messages like 'Your nation is now DIAMONDS.' and inform the good people which party to join and vote for with newsbriefs and such. It'll be worth it to strengthen the populace's devotion to our glorious nation!"

Best of the bad options.

EDIT2:
"I see absolutely no problem with people digging into each other at dinnertime, so long as everyone is willing," Billy Christmas, the editor of the monthly magazine 'To Serve Man', quips, "Not only does it solve hunger problems and create jobs, but it also adds variety to Isaiah Mustafa's sometimes dull palette."


Let's do this.

"We ought to give them a good bombing, then they'll know how a proper country behaves!"

Oh, so my recent edits and posts and whathaveyou's didn't clue you in that MAYBE at least one still does? I generally have a laugh at the "solutions" for the problems, but every now and then there's one that really makes me think. That's why I keep coming back.

But why. Why would you oppress your beliefs on someone else?

"Or we could NOT waste money on bringing foreigners into the country," grumbles Aaron Dodinas, a wealthy businessman. "And giving money to the students? How many of them do you think will stay the whole course, hmm? How many wazoos are we going to burn on this? Our healthcare system is great, there are thousands upon thousands of nations that would give their right province for what we have. I think we can afford to let go of some of that funding and give the good people of SunsSon a tax break, don't you?"
My tax rate is 3%. What taxes am I going to break?
