Dictator Quest

[X] Latveria

There's two plans on the table. FriedIce's leads by a nominal single vote.

[] Plan FriedIce
Personal:
1. Suck up to the military
2. Support Auditing Action.

Heroes:
Howard Hill - Admin 1 - Audit

National:
1. Accept the waste generating companies.
2. TBD

This is the other one, generously produced by Iandude0.

[x] Plan Iandude
Personal:
1. Reduce the opulence of your estate and use the money to help stimulate the economy. If our people can't live as grandly as we can, we shouldn't waste the money.
2. Meet with the various factions under your rule and discuss solutions to certain problems with them. Ascertain how corrupt they are while doing so.

Heroes:
Howard Hill - Admin 1 - [Find a way to discredit and kick out the corrupt bureaucrats.]
People taking money off our budget for themselves should not be a part of our country.

National:
1. Find a way to get rid of the toxic waste and make sure it is gone ASAP.
2. Use some of you money towards stimulating the ecomony and trying to attracts businesses to settle down here. (5B)

Both of these plans hold their merits, and also (obviously) each hold risks and issues. I'd prefer for one plan to have a more thorough weighing in the voting. Plan FriedIce orients more towards fixing financial systems and favor-wrangling, whereas Plan Iandude focuses towards investing in the economy, tightening the belt, and conferring with the masses.
 
How about a compromise between the two?

[x] Plan Iandude 2.0
Personal:
1. Meet with the personal factions and get to know their leaders.
2. Support Auditing Action.

Heroes:
Howard Hill - Admin 1 - Audit

National:
1. Accept the waste generating companies.
2. Use the money from the companies to start stimulating your ecomony (1B).

It is the Friedice's plan, except that I replaced sucking up to the military with getting to know the faction's leaders, so we know who to talk to if things go down and can cut through some red tape.

I also added using half of the money from storing toxic waste to go towards getting our economy off the ground so we can rely on making the happen for the least amount of time we absolutely need to.

Or maybe we should start interacting with our two main generals so we can make them personal hero units who do stuff for us.

The reason I voted for your plan in the first place, is because you were getting rid of the toxic waste.

I do recognize the arguments for keeping it a short amount of time as a necessary evil until we manage to get our economy running. It makes sense to keep it for a very short period and then mobilize your new and more powerful economy to get rid of it really quickly before it really starts causing long term problems.

How does the foreign relation look like? if it seem relatively stable, then:
[X] Plan Munchkin
Personal:
1. Reduce the opulence of your estate and use the money to help stimulate the economy. If our people can't live as grandly as we can, we shouldn't waste the money.
2. Suck up to the military to pacify them in preparation for the comming act
National:
1. Reduce military spending down to 5 percent
2. Use that money to improve Education and Healthcare
Heroes:
Howard Hill - Admin 1 - [Find a way to discredit and kick out the corrupt bureaucrats.]

This way, we can jump start the economy and get the people on our side. Military isn't so important if the neighbors are nice, even if they are hostile, they shouldn't try anything unless we really pissed them off. The military can be an issuse though, so we have to suck them up first

(I'm still voting for having "New Anatolia" as the capital, though)

I will pose a logical counterargument to voting the country be Latveria.

We are the ruler of our country. We are not Doctor Doom. The ruler of Latveria is Doctor Doom. Therefore, we do not rule Latveria. Therefore, our country cannot be Lateveria.

Checkmate. :D
 
If @Gunther could hold off calling the vote for ~7 hours until I get off work I'll present a complete Plan FriedIce. What's there now was never supposed to be the final draft.
 
To get control back of the oil or just make more money, institute new ecological polution taxes and higher standards they need to meet.

If we can make the oil drilling not profitable enough for them anymore we can buy them out at lower price thus avoiding international blowback from just nationalizing them.
 
I say we are spending too much on the milatary. If we can get them to calm down, we can cut the budget
 
We will not be cutting the military budget if I have anything to say about it.
Militaries tend to be rather possessive about their budget and it occurs to me that perhaps pissing off the guys with guns might be a bad idea.
