    I’d like to suggest one good topic when considering more political aspects of the White outbreak. Specifically, the use of propaganda.

    The main way it is used is to mock or intimate opposing nations based on their economy, structure, or governmental stability. In this case, Rasonia or other countries with slight controversy would mock Menlo for their methods in containing the pathogen and how drastic and desperate they were (putting aside the fact that they would have done worse themselves). More uses include, but are not limited to-

    – Influence the population and draw them to a country through ways of showing off their superiority (Red, white, and blue pride).
    – Influence the population to support or join a organization or military (As seen in the example below).
    – Influence a population to support a specific individual or individuals in a certain industry (The most common being political).

    As if one were to apply it to the White outbreak, I’d say there would be posters influencing the population to join the RSU, demeaning the Menlonian government for their actions, and giving praise to the individuals who apparently “know” what actions need to be done to rid the world of the virus.

    Radio stations also could be an important factor in propaganda. For example, my suggestions would be –

    – A radio station playing nothing but music dedicated to the country of Menlo as a way to show their pride.
    – A radio station which disguises itself as one playing Mexican-American music (both countries that don’t exist in this universe, but I am only naming the style.), but, in reality, is one broadcasting Rasonian propaganda to those who listen to it for a certain period of time.

    This is only a suggestion. Awaiting Helmet’s confirmation.
