Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
This Land Was Made For You And Me
A recent government report revealed that NATIONSNAME is running out of land for its expanding population. An emergency meeting of your advisors has been called to decide the best course of action.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “The solution is simple and something we should have been doing all along,” states your Minister of the Environment, Klaus Wilson, “We have acres upon acres of land that is tied up in landfills. If we compost, compress, recycle, we can use the newly-cleaned land to build eco-friendly housing developments. Yes, it’ll require a lot of funding, and there’s bound to be at least a little residual smell. People won’t be happy about it, but I guarantee they’ll be a damn sight happier than they’d be on the streets!”
2. “Of course the enviro-nutjob wants to clean up the landfills, but that’s not the issue!” says your Minister of Finance, Elaine Love. “Why spend all that money fixing up land that already has a purpose when we’ve got plenty of worthless national parks? We could start construction sooner, get people moved in sooner, and fix this problem sooner. We could even use the resources in the parks to furnish the houses. It’d give our timber industry a much needed boost. I’m sure the hippies will moan about how that’ll destroy a bunch of ‘delicate habitats’, but it’s simply progress, Leader.”
3. “You’re all not thinking this through!” yells the CEO of Yellowcake Depot, Tim Harishchandra. “We’ve still got plenty of land. We’ve only used the top of it after all. Let’s expand our cities underground. Look at the perks: there’s plenty of space, they’ll naturally stay at a steady temperature, and – most importantly – think of all the untapped uranium ore down there! Talk about an economic boom! Sure, people might get a little depressed without the sun and there’s always a slight risk of a cave in, but we’ll send down shrinks, sun lamps and throw up a few extra buttresses to be safe.”
4. “I have a much, much more palatable solution,” assures your Minister of Internal Expansion, rubbing his hands together greedily. “Let’s expand our coasts. How do we do that you ask? Simple, we reclaim it from the surrounding seas. All we need to do is build levees and dikes and pump out the water. It’ll take some serious desalinization and a constant, reliable power source to accomplish, but it’ll be worth it in the long run.”
