Zogrunia, in which the government controls sugarcane production and the sales of sugarcane products, has seen a steady rise in the rates of sugar-related diseases over the past few decades. Zogrunia's health authorities are calling for tough legislation to restrict the consumption of sugarcane products in Zogrunia. Nevertheless, up to twenty percent of Zogrunia's annual profits come from the sales of sugarcane products. Thus, Zogrunia cannot go through with the proposed legislation.
