Mediocre Experiment: Nazis, Cameras, and organs!

Normally I would've posted my legislation on the issues facing the Magic O, but due to a slight miscalculation the website processed my decisions almost immediately. You'll have to trust that I chose accurately. Here's the Reader's Digest version:

Issue #1: Nazi sympathizers propose rally
A) Ban due to hate speech
B) Allow, regardless of content.

I chose A.

Issue #2: Install cameras in public places to reduce crime.
A) Do not allow, invasion of privacy.
B) In public, people can see you! No privacy in public, install cameras.
C) Cameras clearly invade privacy, so let's have our citizens barcoded into a national database!

I chose C. The government can manage your needs that much easier, and crime will stop in it's tracks!

Issue #3: Compulsory organ donation
A) Enforce, the dead don't need organs.
B) My organs, my choice.

I chose A. Lower health care costs for everybody!

So, here's our weekly standings.

The Commonwealth of The Magic O
“YES WE CAN!”

Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights:Some
Economy:Fragile
Political Freedoms:Some

The Commonwealth of The Magic O is a small, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning quacking tree frog population. Its compassionate population of 26 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Healthcare, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

The quacking tree frog is a protected species, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown. The Magic O's national animal is the quacking tree frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dolla bill.

The Magic O is ranked 1897th in the region and 35,991st in the world for Largest Gambling Industries.
