Heyyyy, I'm new here.
I need help on an Issue.. anyone wanna help?

The Issue

Bilosburg's TV soaps--famous around the region--have come under fire for their lack of ethnic diversity.

The Debate

"Every night my family and I sit down to watch 'The Brash and the Backstabbing'," says Tobias Dubois. "But where are the Lilliputians like myself? Where are the Bigtopians? The Marche Noirians? People from those cultures can be just as brash and backstabbing, but we never see them on the screen. The government must act to remove this silent apartheid from our TV screens."

Accept

"Those Lilliputians don't know how good they have it," says Fanny Scandinavia, spokesperson for the Tasmanians Against Ethnic Stereotyping. "Tasmanians are on television all the time, but always in crude, stereotypical roles. The answer is not to enforce ethnic quotas, but to award government prizes for the positive portrayal of minorities. That'll work better, and be cheaper, too."

Accept

"The government should do what now?" says TV studio executive Stan Silk. "You've got to be kidding. We make soaps here, not documentaries. I should be able to put whichever characters I want into my shows. Quotas! Government prizes! God save me! Hasn't the government got anything better to do? Why don't they just back off and let society work out these things on its own?"

Accept

If you like to take a stance at this issue, I'd go for option 2, though your taxes will rise. Otherwise, if you don't want government control in the media, option 3 will do. Personally, I always choose #2.

Hey I'm new here who's in charge and what can I do to here

This is the Mare Nostrum kiddo. Sit down, enjoy some wine (or milk and honey/tea depending on which side of the Sea you are) get tanned (or sunburned) from our sun, take a couple of a dives in our lovely seas and eat some calamari or something. Welcome to the best place in the World (ok 2nd best place, the best place is this lovely Empire talking to ya right here).

Since an influx of nations have arrived due to us being featured, our population has grown tremendously. I say it's high time that we advance our region to the next stage of development. To promote regional activity, I propose that we should start a regional government. Who here likes this idea?

me too
