Bill: Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Weapons Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Patriotic Liberal Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: March 2404
Description[?]:
| While we certainly understand the desire to protect our country, we feel that, with regards to nuclear chemical, and biological weapons, we should take the moral high ground. In addition, reckless use of such weapons will only encourage other countries to use them against us. We propose a greatest focus on defenses against nuclear weapons, rather than offensive capabilities. |

| Message | No. Those weapons ensure our safety. If we didn't have them, everybody could attack us in any way they'd want. This way, nobody will dare to attack us. Also, it's clearly the duty of Terra's biggest nation to be able to defend itself against any aggressor. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
