The Debate
"There's a simple solution," says Pastor Felix, of the Catholic Church. "Divorce should be illegal. 'For better or worse,' anyone remember how that goes? We should return to the good old days, when you got married for life and stuck by your partner no matter how much of a drunken, abusive, adulterating disappointment they turned out to be."
Choice #1


John Black, author of the hit book, 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Some Whole Other Place,' has a simpler solution. "If couples would just call each other 'darling' once in a while, there would be far fewer relationship breakdowns. A little affection is all it takes. So the government should make it mandatory: call your spouse 'darling' at least once a day, or face a fine."
Choice #2


"There's a simple way to boost the marriage rate," says gay rights activist Pip Thiesen. "Abolish those arcane laws that discriminate against same-sex marriages. It's obscene to treat people differently because of their sexual preference. Besides, everyone knows gay relationships are more stable than straight ones."
Choice #3

The Government Position: kicked back wondering if the NPO Queendom of TAR A and the other NPO operative watching will let me know when Franco approves my governorship over the province ........(garbled in transmission, sorry :D :D :D )



The Community of Collective Indecision
"In Lampshadius We Drinkum!!!"

UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights: Average (up from below average)
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Excellent (up from superb)

Location: the South Pacific
The Community of Collective Indecision is a large, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 26 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 25%. A large private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Basket Weaving.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Lampshades each year, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, meat-eating is frowned upon, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Collective Indecision's national animal is the Badger and its currency is the Lampshade.

Collective Indecision is ranked 5764th in the region and 87,363rd in the world for Healthiest Nations.
