No Small Wonder
With economic growth skyrocketing and NATIONSNAME’s prosperity rising, prominent business leaders have come to you with proposals to construct a national wonder as a symbol of these successes.
I’ve encountered with 5 choices
1. “To mark this golden age,” declares Leo Tallstoy, CEO of Sky High Company, sitting upright with high hopes, “I suggest we build the tallest building in Osiris! Not only can we finally snatch that tallest building record from the United Federation, but it will break whatever doubts our citizens have about NATIONSNAME’s future! It will boost the economy and will be a good source of morale and patriotism. When aiming high, nothing’s worth the sky!”
2. “Why not aim just slightly higher?” asks Anais Skywalker, CEO of Colossal Works Industries, while putting an arm around your shoulder and pointing to a hole in your ceiling you hadn’t noticed previously. “Instead of the conventional skyscraper, we could build a space elevator? We have enough money, resources, and initiative to make sure our Galactic Republic is the first to develop one! We’ll need to overcome some tricky technical challenges, but such is the burden of the true pioneer! It’ll benefit us in space exploration, and that will serve to strengthen the legacy of our golden age!”
3. “Have you ever heard of the saying ‘too tall to fall?’” inquires Hugh Mongo, another CEO of a large construction company, who barely fits through your doorway. “Or was it ‘too big to fail?’ Anyway, I think that the answer to mark NATIONSNAME’s successes is not with something tall, but great. And by great, I mean wide, like a ziggurat or a pyramid. It’s waaay safer than some thousand-story death trap, but it will last for thousands of years without any expensive maintenance. How’s that for a fair bargain?”
4. “Psh,” scoffs Jill Chapman, one of your more casual advisers, as she rolls her eyes. “It’s true that NATIONSNAME has reached its zenith, but there is such a thing as modesty. In fact, we could very well do with regulations on the tall and big buildings we already have instead. They are symbols of arrogance, acrophobia… and suggestive imagery. Have you ever seen what the CAPITAL Building resembles from a certain angle?”
5. “What’s with NATIONSNAME’s obsession with making things all big and futuristic? Compensating for something?” mocks Brenda Hyde, a gaudy Marche Norian artist-architect. “In Marche Noir we pride ourselves on our spectacular construction projects, some of which are still standing after a thousand years. Our buildings have an ageless and classical beauty to them as opposed to your modern monstrosities. Take a look at our majestic Maxmillia Familia. Granted it’s been under construction for a hundred years, but it’s a far sight prettier than anything proposed here. Take a lesson from the pros, people.”
