- Problem #1
- Two hundred citizens of yours have been arrested for stealing bread. They claim that they stole the bread because they were hungry and needed to feed their families. These people are unable to find jobs and have no money. The question is; what are you going to do to solve this problem? Remember whatever you are going to do will cost money; be sure to explain how you are going to raise the money needed.
- Problem #2
- .A city in your country has revolted against the local mayor (who happens to be your brother) due to poor health conditions and bad schools. The question is what do you do? How do you handle the situation? Do you send in the army and stop the revolt immediately and throw everyone in jail or do you listen to the people and throw your brother in jail? Is there another option?
- Problem #3
- The neighboring country to your east has a major resource that you need…water. Your country is in a huge drought and many of your crops are failing. Your neighbor has a different type of government than yours yet they have been friendly in the past; your people prefer a peaceful solution but your generals and economic advisors feel as though war is inevitable. What are you going to do? War or peace; trade or raiding parties. Write a thoughtful paragraph about how to solve this problem.
