Thank you for your opening statements, candidates! We will now move on to round two of the debate!

Candidates, you have 48 hours to answer the following questions!

Economic Policy:
> The Atlasian deficit is very large. What is your plan for reducing the deficit?
> What is your view regarding trade?
> What policies proposals do you have to create more jobs and generate economic growth?
> The issue of "Right to Work" laws have been a controversy recently in the senate. Do you support or oppose right to work laws?
Foreign Policy:
> The Chinese and their allies have been pushed out of the Korean Peninsula by Atlasia and its allies. However, no peace treaty has been signed yet. What would you like the peace treaty to look like and are there any red lines that'd cause you to vote against a treaty?
> The recent killing of Jamal Khashoggi and the war in Yemen have caused a lot of criticism of Saudi Arabia. What is your view of these issues and how should Atlasia respond?
Social Issues:
> What is your view on immigration?
> What policies do you support regarding the environment?
> The issue of gun control has been very controversial in Fremont in recent weeks. To what extent, if at all, should guns be regulated in Atlasia?
Game Issues:
> Many have accused the President of being too inactive. Would you agree with these accusations and what should be done about it?
> Atlasia in general has had many issues with activity in recent months, which has resulted in a number of resignations and recall petitions. What should be done about this in your view?
> What is your view on how the relationship between regional and federal government should be?
Individual Questions:
> To KoopaDaQuick: In your opening statement, you said that Senators are passing "anti-individual legislation." Which legislation are you referring to and why do you view it as anti-individual?
> To Lumine: Last time you were in the Senate, you put forward the Sulla and Montfort game reform plans. Do you consider these proposals to still be on the table and do you have any new game reform proposals?
> To Nerd73: In your opening statement, you criticized the President and the Senate. Which policies have they proposed which have led you to view them as tyrannical and anti-freedom?
> To Pericles: In your platform, you talk about how you want to implement various forms of stimulus spending and that "if done rightly," an expansion in the deficit can be avoided. Please expand on what you mean by this and how you will ensure that the spending will be done correctly.

We are just waiting for Koopa. He has had some time issues.

Tomorrow we will move on regardless because the election is fast approaching.

Could you expand on this - what spending do you believe should be cut and and what are some alternative ways of raising revenue that you support?
> To Nerd73: In your response on inactivity, you stated that you want to clean the "swamp goblin" system up. Could you expand on how you would do this?
> To Pericles: In your response on inactivity, you said that you are a reformer and are open to passing reforms to make the game more engaging. Could you expand on this - what game reform ideas are attractive to you?

Task 2 - Rebuttals:
