Bill: Lets Get A Colony Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Alorian Populist Party (DemCoa)
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2679
Description[?]:
| Aloria has been offered a sizable amount of land in the other hemisphere by our friend Mr. Kennedy. Here is a map of the land http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/Empirestv/AlorianTerritory.jpg I suggest we take it. We can either sell it to our citizens and use the revenue to rebuild or we can resettle Alorian who need new homes after the war over there. How we will administer the land can be decided in a later bill. I have my own suggestions, but we have to be sure we have the land before we do anything with it. OOC: The land is unorganized by the official game, not belonging to any country and shaded gray on the nation's map, along with whole continents whose divisions are decided solely through RP. They are called colonies, or are potentially so. Now that we have the TFD's protection, we can get a piece of it. |

| Message | OOC: I am sorry to butt in, but that land is claimed by more than Kennedy, and in fact they claim it long before Mr. Kennedy. Talk to Sekowo. I would enter such a deal that could end up screwing you becuase he tricked you. |

| Message | This bill is amended to mean that if the transfer of land is in fact illegal, we will revoke any claim to ownership. |

| Message | It would be better if things are cleared out first before we pursue ownership of this land. We have to understand that this may trigger another war if we're not very careful with this decision. |
| Date | 22:58:24, December 11, 2008 CET | From | Communist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Lets Get A Colony Act |
| Message | The PDAP is right, however, we vote yes, for the time being. |
