Tarabostes Decides:

International Community Comes Doorknocking
Government Acts
The Issue

The international community has appealed to Tarabostes to increase humanitarian aid to the world's poorer nations.
The Debate
1. "We must increase foreign aid," says beaded local peace activist Akira Summers. "Compared to some of these nations, Tarabostes is swimming in forlorns. Let's face it, not every nation in the world is lucky enough to have a government like ours. Let's show some compassion to our less economically gifted neighbors."
2. "Talk about a way to flush forlorns straight down the toilet," argues Think Tank member Beth Dodinas. "What I've noticed is that whenever we do give something, it's never enough: a few years later they're back asking for more. The best way to help these poor nations is to stop shielding them from the logical consequences of their idiotic, long-debunked socialist economic policies."
3. "Relief wouldn't hurt us... if we 'relieved' the right countries," suggests government advisor Faith Gutenberg. "We give them a little humanitarian aid, they give us access to their Information Technology markets... it's win-win. Nothing wrong with a little quid pro quo, especially for a good cause."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

Uranium Deposit Promises To Enrich Tarabostes
Government Acts
The Issue

Prospecting company Nukes4U has uncovered a large uranium deposit in Tarabostes's south-west.
The Debate
1. "This is a terrific find!" claims Nukes4U CEO Pete Wu. "It will provide an enormous stimulus to our economy and create thousands of new jobs. It's win-win! All we need from the government is permission to bulldoze the rainforest that's on top of the deposit."
2. "You've got to be kidding," says Green politician Bianca O'Bannon. "This rainforest is thousands of years old! This country needs more environmental protection, not less. And to destroy the environment in order to mine uranium that then goes into nuclear bombs--well, that really sticks in my craw."
3. "There's no need for an either-or decision," says the government's Minister for Mining, Clear-Felling, and the Environment. "We can preserve most of the rainforest and allow mining of a small part. After all, think of all the good that the money from this uranium deposit can bring to Tarabostes."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
