Description[?]:
| OOC: Ah it's good to be back, see most of you still holding out the place for me. ( I joke) I see the Deltarians tried to annex the nation once again but epically failed. Good to see the SRP, or should I say Union of Democratic Socialists back. I see Terra has greatly changed in my absence, about 200 IG years, sheesh! You might be wondering what I'm up to this time... I'll say that I'll be still ICing the Conservatives, no more pushing of the defunct MCTO... (after five treaty drafts, I've learned), but shall be internationalist in other ways. And of course, some new bill proposals, I wonder how many more laws the mods put in my absence. Of course I won't introduce an omnibus bill. IC: The JCP believes that less government intervention in health care is for the best. |
