Description[?]:
| Article 1: In the case of emergency, the government should be allowed to set a curfew, to protect the Hobrazian people. This responsibility should be given in the hands of the Parliament and should only be called if a 2/3 majority of the members of Parliament vote in favour of setting a curfew. The Government shall then arrange the details concerning the curfew time and other details concerning the curfew. Remember this is only in case of emergency and shall not be used to implement curfew at any other time than when emergency arise. Article 2: Our courts shall by this law have the possibility of sentencing criminals to slavery in the period matching the crime (to be meassured after our already written laws). The sentence can take form of either civil service, direct correction of the wrongdoing, labor or other forms aimed at restoring a status qou between the sentenced and the victim. No direct physical punishment (such as beating etc.) shall be allowed and the sentenced criminal shall have acces to a decent living standard equal to that of a prison or if with minor crimes, the living standard of the sentenced criminal, had slavery not been sentenced. No other form of slavery or rule must apply other than that of the courts decision and breaking this rule will be seen as a criminal offence. A special guard patrol team (working a little like probation officers) will be assigned to those criminals sentenced to slavery and they shall keep contact with the criminal, overlook the punishment and look to that this law is upheld by everyone. After end punishment all slaves shall be released just as had they done time in prison. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
