Voting deadline: February 2629
Description[?]:
| A1: To ensure the sovereignty and control of defense by the government, the people's mechanism of voice. A2: To unite and ensure the people of Dranland can withstand any invasion and act as a deterrent for other nations to do so. A3: To make good use out of the subhumans that would destroy Us. If we are going to feed them, they're going to work. A4: To let the military decide which religious/racial sects are too much of a security risk to be allowed to serve in the military.
