Don't be too hard on your government Skybird, at least they had the courage to try something, someone has to. Maybe your people could be proud they are making a small sacrifice to help the world. The scheme may not have worked too well but you are leading the way for other countries to learn from your mistakes. A very noble thing in my opinion as it would nodoubt have made the ruling party rather unpopular. Its much like our 'Carbon tax' (see post #2)
