Bill: Military Reform of 3024
Details
Submitted by[?]: His Magnificence, Cesare Indelicato
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 3024
Description[?]:
Article 1) Our state owned, national defense industries are in a state of disrepair. Our economy simply can't sustain them. Research has shown that we can get better weapons at a cheaper price in the private sector. Article 2) Currently conscription is mandatory for both and women. Who looks after the children? Article 3) There is a huge market in exporting and importing conventional weapons, especially that we are at peace. Article 4) As long as we have the advantage of a pre-emptive strike, no nation shall dare quarrel with us. Other nations have the right to a nuclear pre-emptive strike and so do we. Article 5) The locals know best in matters such as these. |
