Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Swept Away
Unusually heavy rainfall this week burst riverbanks and caused flash flooding in NATIONSNAME’s low-lying areas. This has sparked much debate on how the state should deal with flood damage.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “We need help to recover from this horrible flood!” says Michael Shiomi, a resident of the flooded zone, trying to stop his hands from shaking. “I’ve lost everything: my house, cars, yacht. There was no time to recover anything before it was swept away. The government should compensate us for our losses. It wasn’t our idea to can the dam project, after all, and if I get no help I’ll be without a roof to live under.”
2. “At the end of the day, they chose to live in a flood plain. Why should the government pay anything at all to these half-brained idiots?” rants Sancho Barnes, a prominent campaigner for lower government spending. “If they want money when there’s a flood, they should get insurance and hang the expense. Make them bear the costs of their own lunacy. You don’t see ME whining about the whippersnappers that broke one of my windows last fall. Why? Because I paid for insurance!”
3. “These floods should never have happened in the first place,” states Sue-Ann Nguyen, a noted architect, with an excited glint in her eye. “They’ve caused widespread destruction and damage; the repairs will cost millions of CURRENCY, and this doesn’t count the millions more people are asking in compensation. What I propose is that the government invest heavily in massive flood defenses. Dams! Levees! Floodways! Dikes! Dams! Gates! Wall off the seas and lakes! Put flood gates on every river! No, dam them all up! Then build more dams! We’ll have no more floods in NATIONSNAME!”
4. “You know what? Why don’t we use the cheap, easy solution to stop this problem?” says Chloe Licorish, floating past on a makeshift raft. “Just stop people from building on flood plains. If you’re not in a floodable area, you can’t get flooded. Who’s going to complain? A bunch of real-estate developers? Please! Even the environmentalists will be happy, because the land will become some kind of nature reserve.”
