Description[?]:
The practice of local governments regulating investment is a terrible idea. Certain areas of the country can be taken over by foreign corporations. This is a national security issue of which affects and encompasses the security of the nation and the right of foreign investment should rest with the central government...

Message | If you have been watching closely, we have been careful as to not give local governments the power to infringe basic civil rights. But in regards to foreign investment, for Aldegar to be competitive we must have competing regions. Only through this intra-competition can the best ideas of how to attract FDI be found. |
