Carib National Event: Hyperinflation

After finishing your daily swim in your pool filled with gold, which you have because you have the most gold due to constantly being in a golden age, one of your advisors runs up to you and asks what you're going to do about the budget shortfall. You're naturally very confused by this, as your golden civ has lots of gold, but your advisor then dutifully informs you that due to this excess of gold, inflation has set in and your nation's entire treasury is now worth just 6 measly PPG. What are you to do about this economic disaster?

• Option 1: If there's too much gold in circulation, what we should clearly be doing is taking some of it out of circulation. I think a solid gold palace with a solid gold throne and full of servants wearing pure gold lace robes would suit me quite nicely, don't you?

• Option 2: I hate counting, so let's increase our gold production even more so that inflation keeps rising. That way the PPG ratio will surely stay sky-high, and I won't have to count as many PPGs when doing my actions.

• Option 3: You know, if we starting shaving ounces off our gold coins and alloying base metals into them, we could cause the value of "gold" to decrease even further. Wouldn't that be funny?

• Option 4: Gold-related inflation? Don't be silly. Everyone knows that gold has a very stable and real intrinsic value, which is why all real currencies are pegged against it and why doomsday preppers love stockpiling it. This "PPG inflation" is fake news and I will hear nothing more of it.

Cuban National Event: Vote Early and Vote Often

As we are a democracy, we have these things called elections. Allegedly, there is supposed to be one coming up. How should we handle the difficult task of administrating a nation-wide election?

• Option 1: I mean, we just set up some polling stations in our cities and let the votes roll in, right? Sounds pretty straightforward to me.

• Option 2: Sounds pretty straightforward if you want the election to be filled with fraudulent votes, you mean. We need to establish a rigorous system of voter registration, voter identification, and mandatory inspections of polling stations to ensure that our election is legitimate.

• Option 3: Well, now that you mention it, do we really want our elections to be perfectly legitimate? It would sure be awfully convenient if you, our glorious leader, always got at least 110% of the vote in every election, regardless of what the silly voters think.

• Option 4: That sounds awfully rigged. Almost as rigged as letting random plebs with no knowledge of political affairs and no investment in our nation's success from having a say in our nation's direction. Suffrage should therefore be limited to only those who possess substantial property in Cuba, who have honourably served the Cuban state in the military or public service, or who have otherwise clearly shown a commitment to Cuba and its success.

Gran Colombian National Event: Futbol!

Our Associated Federations in Futbol is gearing up for its first game, but concerns have been reaised regarding its budget. Constructing massive stadiums, arranging housing for visiting athletes and fans, ensuring that sufficient food, water, and horse rentals are available, and making it all look really fancy to showcase our nation's greatness to the rest of the world isn't cheap, and the money for it has to come from somewhere.

• Option 1: I mean, does the money for it have to come from somewhere? We could just, like, have a smaller-scale, less ostentatious event, with a focus on the actual sport rather than on pampering thousands of international guests and frivolously showing off to the world.

• Option 2: What's the point of hosting a big event like this if you don't, you know, make it big? The government should subsidize AFIF so that it can afford every necessary extravagance.

• Option 3: Wait, hold on? Why should the taxpayers have to shell out for AFIF's benefit? Since AFIF is a big sporting association, I'm sure they can find a bunch of corrupt politicos and businesses and other "investors" to get money from in exchange for favours. It's not bribery if we don't prosecute them, right?

• Option 4: I hear over in the UFC they have invented something called "debt". How it works is really quite ingenious: we simply spend money that we don't actually have, and worry about paying it back later. I'm sure that the futbol tourney will draw in a lot of money in ticket sales, sponsorships, heightened economic activity, and so on, which we could use to pay back our loan after the event concludes.

UFC National Event: Investor Concerns

Our very legitimate business enterprise has been hit with censures and sanctions from dozens of sovereign nations, which investors say could harm our ability to access and exploit international markets. Investors are also saying that our overreliance on banana-related commerce is a risk and that we should diversify our portfolio. Some of these investors have gone so far as to criticize the competence of our corporate officers, pointing at their inability to perform basic arithmetic as a risk to our success. If we are to raise the 500 PPG of equity listed in our Investment One Pager, we will have to start addressing these concerns.

• Option 1: We will start by repairing our reputation among the governments of the region. [Note: the results of this option will depend on your diplomatic relationships with other factions in this plot doc.]

• Option 2: We will start by exploring other, non-banana markets to exploit.

• Option 3: We start by hiring a professional arithmetician to serve in our C-suite to provide the basic counting expertise that we are evidently lacking.

• Option 4: What our investors really want is for us to double-down on monopolizing bananas, our mathematical ability and international standing be damned!
