Description[?]:
| The damaging effects of alcoholism, chain-smoking, and reckless drug use are having a very negative effect on our medical system and draining our national treasury. Taxes collected from all citizens, including those who do not drink, smoke, and/or use drugs are being used to treat the afflictions and diseases of those who do. We must protect the health of all our citizens and stop punishing those who make positive and healthy choices with their lives. Let us increase the life-span of our citizens and take a step towards a healthier Barmenistan. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
