Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Maestro, Please
A delegation from the NATIONSNAME Philharmonia has shown up in your office, underlining their petition for the renovation of the nation’s concert halls with a serenade.
I’ve encountered with 4 choices
1. “The once venerable concert halls of NATIONSNAME are in a sorry state,” laments trombonist Dave Suzuki, emptying the spit valve into your waste paper basket. “Some are dank, the stucco is crumbling in others, and it’s raining through the backstage roof of another! In the name of culture we must restore these halls to their former glory. It’s only a pittance to the national budget, but to our cultural reputation? Priceless.”
2. “These caterwauling miscreants don’t deserve concert halls,” insists Fleur True, a tone-deaf curmudgeon. “If they can’t support their hobby, then why should we, the suffering taxpayers, prop them up? Concert halls are businesses, and businesses that can’t stay afloat on their own disappear. Such is life. I say leave the whole lot to their inevitable demise.”
3. “Times are tight. I sympathize with you,” consoles Klaus Broadside, the CEO of Restorations R Us, handing you a decorative ‘Hang In There’ basket of goodies. “However, you need only ask, and – quick as a whip – my company will fund the construction of concert halls all across this fair country. All I ask is that we put up some advertisements in the lobbies and integrate a tasteful nod to sponsors into the programmes.”
4. “The only reason to fund these musicians is if they are doing something worthwhile for their country,” says Brigadier General Margaret Johnson. “I’ve long said that NATIONSNAME’s Armed Forces would benefit greatly from a spic-and-span band in uniform. They would represent the splendor that embodies NATIONSNAME and they’d do it with pride! Of course by extension, they would be a part of the active forces and required to serve in battle if necessary. Always good to up the recruitment numbers, right?”
