| The NRC will propose the following: The banking system:The government operates large, national banks, but small community based private banks are allowed.I propose this to be a middle ground between our left and right partys.As seeing Socialist love national banks and us more money maker types would like to have a private system as well. The government's policy concerning child labor:Child labour is forbidden.Once again our childern dont need to worry about work.We believe it in the best interest of our kingdom to have our kids in school.
