I had one like that.

Perhaps they will release it after the first ten issues.

I just allowed the duels to take place.

Magical, apparently.

Yeah, it makes sense, considering today’s duel, lol.

Someone must have really gotten burned by this.

They didn't bother exchanging paper resources for gold.

Nah, it's not inflation in essence (despite what is written in the issue result)

For some reason, it seems to me that in SOME country, something similar could be achieved... It's just a pity that those who could influence this are precisely among the top 3%...

The Issue
After countless people barged into your office through the front door, never mind the window, your door has become quite dilapidated. You decided to hold a small meeting on how to fix the problem, and now your office is filled with people holding surprisingly strong opinions regarding such a minor topic.
The Debate

“Xezbeth, how can you stand working in an office with a door barely attached to its hinges? People are going to think our nation is as broken as this door!” exclaims your secretary, Harry Winters, after clearing away today’s new petitions. “You need a brand new door. Oh! How about a rich March Noirian Mahogany? It would have beautiful ornamentation filled with national symbolism. Maybe we could replace the drapes while we’re at it. That’s sure to make Rex Ventorum look great again! Well, at the very least, your office will.”

“I see random people of no importance barging in to your office and dumping all of their problems on your desk for you to handle!” shouts your head of security, Thomas Eliot, while slamming the remainder of the office door. “Let me beef up your security here and install a sturdy iron door. Then only people with worthy issues will seek your counsel.”

“That’s too old school!” interjects Agnes Christensen, your nerdy niece. “Why not install a force field door? It could glow neon blue and look so cool and stuff! Force fields probably aren’t radioactive, right?”

“Why not make yourself a little spending money?” suggests wealthy industrialist Edward Rump as he adjusts his toupee. “You should have a yuuuuuge statue of yourself in front of the door. Koumakanians insert denarii into the statue, and you can judge their worthiness based on how much they pay their respects.”

“Xezbeth, tear down this door!” hollers a random jellybean-eating passerby who seems to have wandered into your office. “If you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for Rex Ventorum and The East Pacific, tear down this door!” The interloper is promptly removed by security.

I was torn between the first and third options, but I ultimately settled on the third...

We've really gone off-topic... The next one will be about choosing a mug for tea.

Your old mug was broken by your cat, it's time to buy a new one. The debate:
-- You need an armored, iron mug! -- the Minister of Defense.
-- Something patriotic, with a coat of arms! -- the Minister of Culture.
-- Isn't there anything better than your portrait on a mug? A good person should be remembered! And it's also time to cancel the elections and establish a dictatorship! -- Your cousin Joe.
-- I don't drink tea, -- you say. -- I'd rather have a glass mug, for beer.
-- Meow, -- says the cat, demanding cat food.

lol

The following issues confront Rex Ventorum:
Should Democracy Be Compulsory?

Oh, if only we could get an interesting issue for our long-standing country #0.

Once I switched to a mode without issues, I started logging in a couple of times a month just to have some fun.

What are you working on?
