Bill: Foreign Policy Amendment
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberal Party of Telamon
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: July 2118
Description[?]:
| Currently in Telamon there are many gaps in our Foreign policy. So i have proposed 4 proposals to fix the problems #1 There should be basic security checks on nationals who apply for passports, to ensure safety and order #2 Free Trade doesent work. Telamon is not a large country, with a small population, and Free Trade will only hamper our economic growth #3 This will enable refugees to only be allowade into the country under extreme circumstances. eg War, Economic collapse and acts of genocide ( Like Kosovo and Bosnia) #4 This is pretty simple, we have security checks on everyone coming in to the nation |

| Random quote: "The Revolution needs to progress. We as humans need to evolve into higher beings through better moral virtues. And we can achieve that if we clean ourselves from the immoral. Those who go against the Revolution, go against human progress and must be freed in the most humane way possible. That is why we introduced the guillotine." - Maximus Robertson, former Davostani revolutionary |
