Nation States Issues : Desert Island Risks

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

 

Desert Island Risks

An anonymous whistle-blower has released thousands of documents detailing how law firms in the tiny tropical island nation of Manamana helped politicians and businesspeople from NATIONSNAME hide millions of CURRENCY in undeclared income. The scandal, dubbed the “Manamana Memos” by the media, has rocked NATIONSNAME, as it involves several famous figures, including world leaders and public officials linked to your government.

I’ve encountered with many choices

1. “This is clearly a law enforcement issue,” muses Attila Harishchandra, head of the Financial Crimes division. “This is a reflection of the state of neglect my division finds itself in. We need more manpower, state of the art computer systems, new vehicles, maybe some snappy new uniforms, and of course, new legislation that gives us broader powers to investigate financial crimes, including the subpoenaing and wiretapping of suspects. Give us the resources we need and I’ll have those fat cats paying their taxes in no time.”

 

2. “Oh my Violet! What is this communist madness?” screams Alistair Sid, the blue-haired and googly-eyed senior-partner at one of the implicated law firms. “My clients are furious! What kind of country is this when you can’t even have assets abroad without the press snooping on them?” He pauses to tear up a packet of chocolate chips, devouring all of them voraciously before continuing his tirade. “Me want you to make this go away, Leader. Journalists should have no right to publish private financial data of politicians and corporations; it’s a breach of privacy and public trust! Prosecute all the journalists and so-called whistle-blowers responsible for this! Oh Violet, it looks like I picked the wrong week to quit dropping spunkmeyers, om nom nom nom.”

 

3. “The problem is capitalism,” argues social activist and NATIONSNAME’s oldest politician ‘Colonel’ Ernie Flanders. “We wouldn’t be in this mess if tax havens weren’t allowed in the first place. It is outrageous! Multinational corporations and the top one percent can suck the wealth from our country dry and then take it offshore to some so-called financial paradise to avoid paying taxes. We need capital controls to prevent economic collapse so we don’t end up in an economic mess like Bigtopia. We need to wage war against this corrupt system! Outlaw this practice at once!”

 

4. “The problem is government and Leader’s incompetence,” counters noted billionaire Edward Rump, who was coincidentally listed in the Manamana Memos. “People come up to me all the time and tell me that they take their money abroad because they are tired of dealing with the draconian tax code and endless bureaucracy in this country. In order for NATIONSNAME to be great again, we need to prosper and be wealthy. In order to be wealthy, by the way I love the wealthy, we need to simplify the tax code and lower taxes. Freedom will ring and it’ll be amazing. So amazing.”
