Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Space Is Big Enough for the Both of Us
In a shocking turn of events, the normally secretive East Lebatuck government proposed working with multiple space programs. They have offered to work with the NATIONSNAME Space Agency to create a jointly-operated space station, called the Multinational Space Station, or MSS. The scientific community has concluded that a space station would be utterly cool and might even provide the NATIONSNAME Space Agency with valuable scientific data, but some are concerned about working with East Lebatuck.
I’ve encountered with 3 choices
1. “Comrade Leader, there is no reason for any mistrust between us,” comments Anna Ho, the East Lebatuckese representative, while discreetly placing a listening device under a pot plant. “Our proposal would launch NATIONSNAME’s space program to new heights while setting a glorious example of friendship between our two great Motherlands. We’re ready to launch the ‘Spyonya’ module, so just hurry up and agree to build the station already.”
2. “A jointly-operated space station might be one small step for international cooperation, but our own space station would be a giant leap for NATIONSNAMEkind,” declares hero astronaut Hum Legstrong, who has arrived wearing a space suit for reasons you cannot fathom. “All we need to do is repurpose some leftover parts from the last few spaceship programs. Fuel tank? Bam, crew quarters! Spy Satellite? Bam, space telescope! We’ll get all the sciencey goodness for a low, low price, and we won’t have to trust those shady East Lebatuckese.”
3. “A space station? Really?” remarks Earl Pelosi, an unpopular and rather frugal politician, nibbling at a homemade peanut butter sandwich. “Those nerds may act satisfied, but they’ll just be begging for more funding next week. Take a page from Maxtopia’s book and slash the NATIONSNAME Space Agency’s budget. We might get less of that ‘science’ stuff, but who cares? No one, because they’ll be too busy enjoying the tax cut. It’s not like space is going anywhere.”

Option 2. sounds cool so I choose it.
The result saids ‘The nation’s new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet.’
In result, my nation get a boost of this qualities.
