Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In an unprecedented turn of events, the United States Congress has found itself in the throes of a heated debate, not over healthcare, immigration, or the national deficit, but rather over the taxation of virtual in-game purchases within the wildly popular mobile game, "Kingdom Conquest: The Rise of Pocket Kings."

The saga began when Professor Hilda Beaker, a historian specializing in the economic impact of virtual economies, stumbled upon a curious trend during her research on the French Revolution. She noticed a marked decrease in political unrest among the peasantry coinciding with the rise of a new, addictive mobile game. Intrigued, Beaker traced the phenomenon to "Kingdom Conquest," a game where players can purchase in-game currency with real money to buy everything from swords to dragons.

Beaker's presentation to a Congressional committee sparked a frenzy. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle were aghast at the realization that the game's developers, the enigmatic and elusive "Pixels & Parchment," were raking in billions annually from American consumers, yet these transactions were not being taxed.

The debate quickly escalated into a full-blown bipartisan brawl, with Congressmen and women donning medieval garb to debate the merits of taxing virtual transactions. The chamber was abuzz with cries of "Thou shalt pay thy digital dues!" and "Nay, 'tis a slippery slope to taxing our dreams and fantasies!"

In a surprising move, the venerable Senator Charles Windbag III proposed a legislative amendment that would retroactively tax all virtual assets acquired before the year 2023, sparking outrage among gamers across the nation. His counterpart, the fiery Representative Scarlett Fury, countered with a bill that would exempt all players who had reached the level of "Grand Vizier" or higher from any taxation, deeming them "above the law."

As the debate raged on, the nation watched in bemusement as their elected officials grappled with the existential crisis of taxing make-believe gold mined in a digital realm. Meanwhile, "Pixels & Parchment" quietly updated the game, introducing a new in-game taxation system, charging players a fee to file their virtual tax returns.

The outcome of this historic battle remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the United States Congress has never been more divided... over whether or not to tax the sale of a unicorn horn in a mobile game. The future of fiscal policy has never been so fantastical.
