Details
Submitted by[?]: VonkajÅ¡Ãci
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2436
Description[?]:
| We are a nation surrounded by ethnic, religious and ideological enemies, who would be pleased to see Deltaria wiped from the map ; it is for that reason that we believe the Duma must increase military spending. Unfortunately, the money must come from somewhere, and this means that our policies of ecological regulation must be stripped to the bare bones. |
