Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
A Blast From the Past
A teacher and four schoolchildren were killed on a field trip in a remote region of NATIONSNAME after an old anti-personnel mine was accidentally detonated. The landmines – relics of the nation’s previous wars – have taken the lives of many over the years.
I’ve encountered with 4 choice
1. “You can see how important demining is, no?” asks Amanda Hadfield, the CEO of Remove Landmine, an obscure private enterprise based in Bigtopia. “We clear NATIONSNAME of landmines for small price. No need to worry that forests obstruct progress; we remove them too, in big proud explosions. Bigtopian strength!”
2. “Not the Bigtopians!” screeches Diego Nimoy, fierce patriot and even fiercer guerilla fighter, jumping out of a filing cabinet and tackling the Bigtopian businessperson to the ground. “When the Bigtopian warmongers attacked, we were forced to deploy landmines. Now they have the cheek to try and profiteer from our misery! We should seize all Bigtopian assets and use them to set up a demining fund instead!”
3. “I’ve got an idea!” suggests Katniss Trudeau, Minister of Education and part-time comedian, trying to stifle her laughter. “Why don’t we teach students proper demining techniques? I’m sure that it’s going to be useful in their everyday lives… somehow. Anyway, it should prevent such an incident from ever occurring again.”
4. “Actually, we don’t need any of that,” explains Oswald Christmas, an Army Logistics Supervisor, examining a map of NATIONSNAME. “Since we were the ones who planted the mines, we could dig up some old documents on how to retrieve them. While it may be more costly than just purposefully detonating all of them, we should be able to reuse any functional ones that we come across. Although some of them might not work as well as newly-made weapons, this would provide a well-needed boost to our military stockpile.”
5. Dismiss the issue
Option 3. sounds nice so I choose it.
The result saids ‘Students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic.’
In result, my nation get a boost of this qualities.
