Description[?]:
| As minister of foreign affais, I would like to make sure that all ijs in order according to the Spenocratic Party and the newly formed cabinate. Most of the Foreign Affairs Laws are already satisfactory. These are just a few changes to make sure that everything is perfect. Article One: Whatever our laws are, foreigners have to follow them as well. Article Two: We have to do at least a routine check on citizens wishing to travel to insure that they are not international criminals, etc. Also, this is a favor to other nations becuase they don't want our drug dealers going into their country. Article Three: Instead of punishing those who punish us, we should only put taxes on the items that we want to make sure aren't taken over by multinational companies. |
