Details
Submitted by[?]: Outer Church
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: April 2438
Description[?]:
| The police and the military are both equal in the eyes of the government. They are both trained to keep the government safe and sacred; however, one deals with internal threats, and one deals with external. When the population needs to be trained, this is a job for the police force. However, when the population turns rabid and needs to be put down, this is a job for the military. Why not let our nation's army do it's job? |

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. |
