Nation States Issues : Tourists On Death Row

Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)

 

Tourists On Death Row

A group of holidaymakers from NATIONSNAME have been arrested while visiting the scenic, yet corrupt and totalitarian, nation of Maxtopia on charges of drug trafficking – an offence which carries the maximum sentence of the death penalty. The story has provoked outrage from citizens, many believing the government should intervene to bring the tourists back home.

 

I’ve encountered with many choices

1. “Everyone knows what barbarians those Maxtopians are!” says Fanny Jones, parent to one of the arrestees. “They’ve not even allowed my son and his friends access to lawyers! That government is as corrupt as they are cruel, my boy would never have anything to do with drugs! You need to do something to save them, I’m begging you! I’m sure the Maxtopian officials will back down if you threaten trade sanctions or something. Right?”

 

2. “You’ve got to see it from the other side,” argues Sean Levy, a customs official. “While it’s unfortunate that the sentence is so stiff, they really shouldn’t have been smuggling drugs. I’m sure we wouldn’t be happy if Maxtopians came over here with banned goods. I just can’t sympathise: they were greedy, they broke the law, they got caught. What makes them so special that they should be bailed out? At the taxpayers’ expense I might add. Let them be – it’ll show we respect the judicial rights of other countries.”

 

3. “I agree,” chimes in Clint Giono, an anti-drug campaigner, waving a banner which reads ‘Don’t Be a Fool, Drugs Aren’t Cool’. “Did you ever stop to think that our foreign neighbours might have the right idea? A zero-tolerance attitude to the drugs issue is what this country needs! Death to the dealers!”

 

4. “You people are so quick to lay the finger of blame,” says Kathleen King, an ambassador at NATIONSNAME’s embassy in Maxtopia. “My motto has always been ‘If you want something, give something away’. It is the government’s duty to protect its citizens from harm! We don’t want to cause too much international friction by making a mockery of their laws so we’ve got to settle things more diplomatically: they scratch our backs now and we’ll scratch theirs later.”

 

5. “That’s what they want! Leverage!” hollers Alexander Rubin, your Minister of Defence, storming into your office. “Advances in our markets, political favours – they’ll do anything to undermine us! They’ve always hated us, those rats! If you ask me, this brouhaha isn’t about drugs – it’s a spit in our eye, that’s what it is! What kind of people execute kids for having a few ounces on them? We ought to give them a good bombing, then they’ll know how a proper country behaves!”
