Everywhere you go people know your name: Dr. Sammie Jones. With a feather in your hat, you give an extra push to the gas pedal of your Honda Accord and breeze down the highway, hands at 10 and 2. You see a billboard advertising for a city exit: 'Welcome to Brandenburg! Home of the first canine astronaught!' And a strange force compells you to take the exit. As you roll through the main street of Brandenburg, you notice a commotion at City Hall. You park and walk up the stairs and into the building. The central room of Brandenburg City Hall is hot and crowded with unhappy people. As you turn to leave, several members of the angry public place you in a chair... they have declared you their leader! As such, it is your duty to be just and kind. These are your challenges.",

The citizens of the community are concerned that deuterated water will leak into the water table. Wind energy and hydroelectric energy are available by placing windmills in farmland to the East and hydroelectric dams in the river to the West. The community memebers are generallly affable to pursue these options. Concerned members of the community worry that these solutions will inhibit fish migration patterns, decrease the prevalence of birds, and tarnish the beautiful landscape that drew them to Brandenburg in the first place.",

Brandenburgians have suggested that more food producers be allowed to use local resources to produce cheaper food. One interested party has suggested starting a local fish farm, but some experts warn that fish farms could affect local water quality. Others are suggesting that the less arable land to the West be sold as rangeland to increase local meat supplies.

While most of the tourists come to enjoy an authentic pristine wilderness area, the popularity of the pools has increased the amount of traffic through Brandenburg. State employees are regularly sent out to collect trash, remove waste, and clean graffiti. Budget-minded people are suggesting that more infrastructure such as public toilets and trash cans be installed at the pools to make it easier for the state to maintain the area. Activists are arguing that the area should be shut down to the public in an effort to restore the habitat to its previous quality. The local business community strongly opposes closing access to the pools because tourism is great for business.",

However, the polluted air coming from your mountain community is often cooler than the air above it. These 'inversions' cause the polluted air to stay in the community. The incidence of breathing problems is increasing in your community, and experts tell you that the average lifespan of the community is going to decrease if a solution isn't found to the air quality problem. Implementing reforms on transportation infrastructure could cut into the productivity of the community. Some are suggesting that you increase public transportation availability to reduce Brandenburg's emmissions. Others argue that you should increase programs to encourage lifestyle choices that facilitate clean air within the community. Others are in support of a new program to plant more street trees to help filter the air.",

Across the lake, it is clear that fish have started dying off, and the body count is growing. Water quality experts say that the algal bloom in Lake Lazybottom is another casualty of Nitrogen and Phosphorous pollution in the water, and they suspect this pollution has mainly come from local agriculture. Some experts are suggesting that programs be started to aide local farmers in adjusting their practices to reduce the amount of fertilizer that runs off into local lakes and streams. Others argue that wetland habitat should be expanded because it will clean the water. A few experts are arguing that it is worthwhile to install a filtration plant to clean the water.",
