Details
Submitted by[?]: 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō)
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2468
Description[?]:
| Since we have different parties than we did the first time I did made a name change bill, I'm introducing a new one. We're suggesting the same name the 'Federation of Sekowo'. This is for two reasons. 1.Are current name is far to long, and the age of city-states is in the past, though they do still play a role in Sekowo. 2. More than ever we need to change our name do to our protectorates and territories, since they are part of Sekowo, we are more a Federation than ever. |

| Message | Sounds better than "Federated Cities of Pan-Sekowo" That name has WAY too decentralized ring to it. |

| Message | While we believe that a name as "Federated Cities of Pan-Sekowo" is slightly too long, we wish to remain faithful to the city-states system, because of its obvious advantages. It has all the benefits of a federal system and the power is on a closer level to the citizens than in a federation of larger subdivisions. Furthermore smaller nations are as a general rule easier to govern and more efficient, therefore a city-state can be more stable than a 'state' or other such large federal unit. Also the citizens of a city-state have greater access to political information and can play an active role in the political life, as it is largely done on a local level, where everybody is politically involved. And regarding the new Sekowan territories and protectorates, we consider that they could be incorporated into the city-state system (for example native local political organizations, such as tribes, could be given the official status as poleis), thus allowing the aborigines to maintain their own laws, customs and way of life while still being integrated into the Sekowan culture. Therefore we suggest an easier to use name that would carry the same message as the old one, such as the "Federation of Sekowan Cities" |

| Message | We no longer operate as city states, they are simply the smallest political unit. The territories have very few cities, and thusly that system would not work for them. |

| Message | As I said, "native local political organizations, such as tribes, could be given the official status as poleis", so it is about official status. A tribe does not have to be a city to be considered a polis by the Sekowan law. |

| Message | sorry guys. I can't abandon my creation. I'd still go for an empire though. |

| Message | I suppose I'll have to wait for the inevitable loss of seats by CFP, and gain of seats of supporting parties to pass this. And to think, it only missed by 6 votes. |
