Lets Run Australia, My Off Topics Denizens (Democracy3 Game)

[Gillipig]

Less freedom and more duties.

Did you legalize weed and tax it yet?

No, I haven't. But I can legalize and tax such substances (it isn't limited to just weed, it seems to be all other illicit drugs too). We do have a health issue, which is affecting our GDP though.

They have had "medical" pot in Cali for ages.

[BigBallinStalin]

And heroin can be a cheaper substitute for morphine, so health costs decrease, thus freeing up resources for more valuable uses. GDP increases! Yay!

[DoomYoshi]

Have we invaded Borneo yet?

[AndyDufresne]

Not yet. I'll post some more turns I've taken so you can see our progress.

We need to run this like that Twitch pokemon red game.

Mmhm.

So, I've been playing lots of other video games lately, but I got back into our Australia Democracy 3 game. Here is an update:


RECAP - AUSTRALIA, Turns 4 and 5 (11 Turns to election)


Our Party's Name: The Democratic Union of the Fatherland (DUF)

Main Opposition Party Name: The (Mean) Green Party


New Policies / Directions:

TURN 4 EVENT

show: Priceless Art Theft

TURN 5 EVENT

show: People Smuggling

As you can see, we took a little hit with Conservatives, who are not big on people stealing our priceless Socialist artwork. Luckily though, like a good Socialist country, we found a bunch of extra people to do work, who were smuggled into the country. Why turn them away, comrades, when we can put them to work?


So for Policies, here is what we tackled:

INSTATE COMMUNITY POLICING -- So Crime is still a decent issue. So is 'Antisocial Behavior' -- so naturally, we've instated some Community Policing. I am not exactly sure how this looks, but I imagine lots of people watching one another in the community and reporting one another's activities. And probably lots of red arm bands too.

show: Sreenshot

show: Thread Input

YOUTH CLUB SUBSIDIES -- I imagine this going well with Community Policing. Imagine indoctrination youth clubs (Hitler Youth Clubs) popping up all around Australia now. Parents will love it (until they realize they are being watched and reported on by their children), Crime will go down, Youth love a cool place to hangout and just want to belong, man, and Socialists dig it all.

show: Sreenshot

show: Thread Input

ESTABLISH CITY FARMS -- To finally bow to BBS's pressure to do more for the farmers, I've decided to instead of subsidizing agriculture, to establish City Farms, to help feed our massive worker populations in the cities, with minimal transport time. Farmers like this.

show: Sreenshot

show: Thread Input

LEGALIZING CANNABIS -- I didn't legalize all narcotics, but I did do Cannabis for 2dimes. Hopefully our workers won't lose too much productivity.

show: Sreenshot

show: Thread Input

PLASTIC BAG TAX -- You wanted more taxes? WE'VE GOT MORE TAXES! We won't make a lot from it, but it does help our core Environmental crew, and Capitalist pigs hate it, so win win.

show: Sreenshot

show: Thread Input

INCREASE SCIENCE FUNDING (PARTICLE ACCELERATOR) -- You wanted more science and big projects? Well We've just set out to create a Particle Accelerator in Australia. I imagine it going through the waste that is the middle of Australia.

show: Sreenshot

show: Thread Input

For next couple of turns, I'd still like to tackle a Space Program. I'll also report on how our Crime stats are doing, and Health as well. Anything else you'd like me to tackle?

Crime and Space sound good. I don't get why legalizing weed Increased crime (cuz ya know, it's no longer a crime to get high, maan), but whatever, that's why we got the Brown Shirts to handle that problem. Maybe we should call them the Green Shirts.

I think legalizing weed increases crime, because people are all hopped up and committing misdemeanors and felonies, like robbing Taco Bells and or girl scouts selling cookies, etc.

I can't believe these pothead maniacs would betray us. Double security! Double castrations!

[rishaed]

Were you lookin for this thread BBS?

[BigBallinStalin]

Yeah! Thanks.

Andy, what's happened? Have you been assassinated?!

Have we implemented the double castration policy yet? Perhaps it was too late!
