Bill: National service 2451
Details
Submitted by[?]: People's Mujaheddin
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: February 2452
Description[?]:
| Everyone should serve a term in the national service upon graduation, but it should be up to the people themselves to choose from either serving in the military or simply doing the civilian service. When we force everyone to do something specific, we are in a way allowing the military and the soldiers to become part of an elite profession rather than the vanguard of the people. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
