My subjects asked Tyrant City for not so much dictatorship, if that's all right.

I had a few executed.



Mine was....

"Divorce rates are up. What should we do about this."

A) Make Divorce illegal.

B) Make it a law that people are forced to call there spouses a nice name once a day.

C) Legalize gay marriage.


I went with C. I find it odd there wasn't a "Not my business"/"Who cares" option. I guess that's what the dismiss button is for.



I think after a while you can start typing up and submitting your own issues to screw over other nations.



Mine was about if hospitals should be allowed to pay people for donating organs and blood

I chose to outlaw it

Looks like I'm going to be disarming Butswania a little!

Also my influence for Tyrant City is "Eminence Grise". What the Hell?



I just armed my country to the teeth with guns



I choose not to have a "spiritual adviser"



I need a new country where I can do all what I wouldn't do in a real country

n éminence grise (French for "grey eminence") is a powerful advisor or decision-maker who operates secretly or unofficially. This phrase originally referred to François Leclerc du Tremblay, the right-hand man of Cardinal Richelieu. Leclerc was a Capuchin friar who wore grey, or rather brown, robes. Brown or light brown (now called "beige") was called grey in that era.[citation needed] The phrase "His Eminence" is used to address or reference a Cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. Although Leclerc du Tremblay never achieved that rank, it is not improbable[weasel words] that those around him may have addressed him thus in reference to the considerable influence this "grey friar" held over "his Eminence the Cardinal".

Aldous Huxley wrote an English biography of Leclerc entitled Grey Eminence, and there is also an 1873 painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme, "L'Éminence Grise," which depicts him descending the grand staircase of the Palais Cardinal.
