Details

Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: June 2513
Description[?]:
| "The welfare system of our nation is exemplary. The state tries hard to relieve the distress of greatest poverty. But still, the current legal situation misses two most important aspects: Firstly a certain amount of self-responsibility. Secondly financing. We mustn't lean back just because the system is working right now, we have to think and plan in the long term. A legal situation that always helps and provides a good life for everyone makes self-acting and self-responsibility a dispensable fall-out. That we cannot approve." Adam Horvitz, party leader |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
| Random quote: "The problem is big government. If whoever controls government can impose his way upon you, you have to fight constantly to prevent the control from being harmful. With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm." - Harry Browne |
