In the second quarter you ensure that every single police department has a suitable number of armed members, along with some who have military grade gear. You also establish a system to protect witnesses. With remaining time and energy you setup a National Business Council.
In the third quarter someone in your administration accidently invested more into prisons.
Your debt grows about 3% a year now, up from 2%.
SA / China relations have not improved in a major way, due to your lack of interest in Foreign Investment Tax Breaks.
An unknown creditor has bought up about 5% of your debt and then lost track of it. Roughly the last 9 months of deficient spending was removed from the national debt.
<span class="mu-s">Decision Time</span>
You are in a situation where you need to decide child labor laws.
>Ban Child LaborConsidering your nation's problem with youth unemployment, this might solve problems with older youth, but cause problems for younger youth. About 60-80% of the economy is farming, so child labor is a major deal. You don't know if child labor being banned will actually affect farming, but it will likely result in improved reading skills.
>Leave the laws unchangedPretashinko appears to be opposed to this choice, however you suspect this choice is at least nationally more popular.
>Regulate Child LaborThis will limit child labor to around ten hours a week. This should allow children some time to work and get money for materials or help support their families, while making it possible for them to get a full education.
>News"De Congo" is reportedly facing some major instability. Two different factions supported by Rwanda and Uganda, Tutsi factions, control about a third of the nation. The rest is controlled by a semi-elected / semi-dictator with moderate Hutu backing. Most of the southern quarter of Africa also supports the DRC State.
You are hearing reports that the DRC is splitting in two somehow, and that there is infighting within the two rebel factions. You don't know if this will trigger more fighting. Already the first and second "Congo Wars" have killed seeming millions of people.
