Bill: Administrative Change
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertarian Party of Kalistan (LPoK)
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2770
Description[?]:
| In order to give Kalistan a more open and welcoming aura, we propose that the subdivisions of Kalistan be renamed from "Departments" to "Provinces". Our reasoning is simply for aesthetic purposes; 'department' sounds very corporate and emotionless, whereas "province" sounds a little more personified and human. Simply, it sounds nicer when used. Example: "Department of Ananto" vs. "Province of Ananto" It is not a huge change, but perhaps it would be time for one such as this. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
