Description[?]:
| The Internationalist Party sees no reason why goods produced through the exploitation of international labour should enter the country.

To ensure this within present legislation, we propose drastically increasing the amount of aid given to developing countries. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
