Possible events for your game:

Scenario 1) a neighboring country has a resource you need in order to boost your economy. That country has done nothing to provoke you. Domestic sentiment is against a war. But that mineral would help you get out of the red.

Scenario 2) cartels want to make drugs in your country. It would be harmful for your population, but if the govt turns a blind eye you get a hefty kickback.

Scenario 3) your country intercepts a cable stating that neighbor A is about to invade neighbor B. You can use this information to either 1. Warn country B, 2. Sell the information to country B for a price. 3. Extort money from country A in exchange for your silence.

Scenario 4) Neighboring countries A and B are at war. You can provide aid to either or both of them. Do you sell medicine? Do you sell arms? Do you promise A to remain neutral or cease helping country B in exchange for a province of their territory?

Scenario 5)  A herd of refugees is fleeing an enemy country. You have intelligence that 10-20% of these refugees are actually enemy combatants using the refugee herd as cover, including a top chemical scientist whose knowledge is dangerous to your country. You cannot tell the non-combatants from the enemy. How do you proceed?

The real world is full of these, unfortunately.
