(Do you want to just be called the Empire since you're already a part of them?)

Issue 4: A band of traveling minstrals has attracted attention from all over the country, but some believe that they are underhandedly denouncing the New Empire through their lyrics.

-"We can't tolerate this!" Says a government hardliner, blue in the face, "These people don't care about our traditions, and they lie right to the people's faces about us! We should have these men wrung up in the dungeons for their despicable messages!"

-An Imperial just back from watching one of their shows chimes in, "I heard nothing suggesting they are against our country in any way. These people are just expressing history in a way we don't commonly hear it, and if we think that's so bad, well, then maybe we're the bad guys here."

-"I won't say they're not for or against our country..." Says a young bard, "...But I think I have the solution if they are. We should start up our own minstral group, telling messages of the greatness of our country. We could make some decent coin off of it too, and on top of that, we could tax any non-governmental minstral band who comes through our land."

-"Ughh, minstrals," Says a brutish gate guard standing nearby, "I say we should send those lousy noisemakers straight to the chopping block, along with those annoying bards and colorful jesters. In fact, all singing should be banned, with execution being the punishment. Then we could finally get some sleep around here."
