New Balder Plays NS poll is up! Make sure to read the following dispatch before voting:
Explanation
This nation is not a normal Balderan nation, but rather a nation run by the entirety of Balder. Everyday, an issue will be presented to the region via poll, where all residents can vote on which option they believe would be best. The fate of this nation lies in the hands of Balder. You can find more info here.
The Issue
Workers across the nation have gone out on indefinite strike over what they claim are substandard wages in the Woodchip Exports industry.
The Debate
OPTION 1 - “We are the backbone of this country, and we demand a fair wage rise!” says union leader Chuck Jefferson. “I don’t think a 20% increase over two years is too much to ask. Unless the government forces employers to give us our due, we’ll shut this whole industry down! Let’s see how well Balder Plays NS’s economy manages without any Woodchip Exports, huh?”
OPTION 2 - “We pay our employees very generous wages,” says employer representative Ivanka Pushkin. “Especially when you consider that without us, they’d be OUT ON THE STREET. Hear that, you scumbags? OUT ON THE STREET! Anyway, my point is, if you cave in, you make our entire industry uncompetitive. You can’t do that in the global marketplace. It’ll hurt the whole country. The best solution, economically speaking, would be to relax industrial laws and allow us to fire troublemakers on the spot.”
OPTION 3 - Dismiss This Issue
