Bill: IP Church and State Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperialist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2393
Description[?]:
The influence of religion in this fair land is growing too strong. It is not enough to have legal separation of church and state - the state must be able to ensure that religions, which can be like governments, are kept under control. With these reforms we can prevent annoying evangelism from door-to-door preachers, and also prevent radical priests from undermining the state. |

Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
