24 minutes ago: Following new legislation in Kittypink, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines.

Arandor, I received an issue about poets, as you mentioned. How much has the culture grown there since the first version of your response?

Who had the space program? Which option should I choose? The first or the second?

The first one is cool, at least from the banner's perspective.

Who had a space program? Which option should I choose? The first or the second?

"If God had meant Man to fly, he would have given us solid rocket boosters instead of legs," says religious type @@RANDOMNAME@@. "We should not be looking to the stars, but rather inside our own hearts. That's why we should abandon this so-called space program, and instead make the teaching of religion mandatory in all schools."

For your country, it's definitely the third option.

Arandor, I received an issue about poets that you mentioned. How much has your culture grown since the first version of the answer?

by two. but I only had 11. maybe others will get more. they also gave me +1 to book printing, economy (presumably from there), and something else.

no. I need space!

I don't understand. Was the ratio greater than 140 to 1? And then it decreased?

It was around 255 to 1. I was very surprised and wanted to increase that number...

No. I need space!

Not bad. Here's the whole universe for you...

It was something like 255 to 1. I was very surprised and wanted to increase that number...

But that's nothing. When it dropped from 1,948 to 255, that was a real tragedy.

Well, honestly, how is the second option worse than the first? It simply involves funding from a different source, and that’s it.

increased by two. but I already had 11. maybe they'll give others more. they also gave +1 to book printing, and the economy (presumably from the same source), and something else.

5 days ago: Following new legislation in The Great Water, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight.

If I'm comparing everything correctly, then:
22nd, morning -> 22nd, evening
culture -3 -> -1
industry: book publishing -2 -> -1

the increase is exactly the same. +2 and +1.

"I don't think that's a good idea," says Elaine Winters, one of your advisors who happens to own an extensive greenfield site. "We can't just let people go living wherever they like just because they've been doing it for hundreds of years. It's very untidy! What I suggest is that we dip into the coffers and buy plots of land, all over the country, and turn them into nice safe areas where these folks can stay for as long as they want for a weekly rent before they decide to move on. See? Problem solved."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

And now I have official campsites, just in case any of the "olympic" tourists haven't decided where to stay yet.
Oh, and +1.5% to taxes. Hmm. They turned out to be quite expensive. I'll have to cut something again.

No, seriously. How is the second option worse than the first, when it simply involves funding from a different source?

From the private sector? Well, that's possible... It depends on whether you want to burden your people with more taxes or not. I even chose the second option for my main character back in the day; instead of a rocket, I had a huge bottle of Pepsi flying into space. Well, that was the style back then.

by the way, that's exactly what the Americans do. Unlike Russia, they often use not secret, state-owned enterprises, but secret private companies to fulfill large space contracts. Although the funding still comes from taxpayers, in my opinion, it should still be cheaper overall. Plus, Space Adventures, which takes space tourists into orbit, is a private company.

Okay, I'll take the first one then. Maybe the second option also improves the economy.

The Federal Republic of Rex Ventorum is extremely concerned about the unstable situation in the region and, as a countermeasure, initiates the creation of the Actaean Security Council. In the opinion of Rex Ventorum, this international organization should help the countries of Actaea maintain and strengthen peace in the region.
If governments are not indifferent to the fate of the region as a whole and their people in particular, representatives of seven states are required to attend the summit, assume the powers of an ASC member, and discuss and resolve pressing issues.
Due to certain circumstances, four states were not invited to join the ASC. With the consent of the participating countries, they may obtain membership at future summits.

Official reasons for refusal:
*The Sultanate of Ahasan — suspiciously low activity of the country's leadership, lack of news.
*The Free Land of Champignons — unstable region, government bodies are not mindful of their actions.
*The Rogue Nation of Steelmen — no governmental body exists.
*The Dominion of Kittypink — threat to global stability and peace. The nature of the country's internal regime affects its foreign policy, and as a result, the ASC cannot turn a blind eye to the actions of this country's leadership. Examples from eyewitnesses and intelligence: according to a government initiative, a large number of newborns are kidnapped by the state to be raised as mindless killing machines; the population is subjected to drug treatment through the widespread addition of such substances to the water.

Organization membership indicated in green is active (or requires updating), gray is inactive, orange is questionable. If I forgot anything — remind me; if you don't like the name of your organization — tell me the correct one and I will change it.

EAFTA — Eastern-Actaean Free Trade Area
ASG — Aghar-Sciencecracy-Greatwater
DAVQ — Dual Alliance Ventorum-Qasardastan
DAKC — Dual Alliance Kittypink-Champignons
AFTA — Actaean Free Trade Association

In addition to the ASC, the Federal Republic of Rex Ventorum is the creator of the AFTA organization; its details will be discussed during the summit.
