Description[?]:
| Text of the Act The Government of Kalistan hereby declares that any and all Representatives of foreign governments, states, or peoples shall not be permitted to issue comment on legislation which is either in debate or in voting without explicit invitation by the Head of State, Head of Government, or Foreign Minister. Only in such cases as permission is given will a representative from a foreign power be allowed to offer any comment. In such case, the comments will not be as an active participant in the debate, but only to provide such information or testimony as to help Kalistani legislators make a decision. If the representative advocates a position, he/she will be asked to leave the chambers. Unsanctioned speech on the floor of the Assembly is interference by a foreign power with the legislative process of a sovereign state, and shall not be tolerated. Any unsanctioned speech by foreign representatives on the floor of the Kalistani Assembly will be deemed "espionage" and will be subject to immediate arrest and detention, pending immediate deportation back to their home country, and the lodging of an official protest. Any member of the Assembly may, in the case of unsanctioned speech by a foreign representative, call the Sergeant At Arms of the Assembly to immediately remove the offender/s and sanction him/her/them in accord with the provisions of this law. The foreign minister shall, within the same month, lodge an official protest with the foreign agent's Government, and let it be known that their representative has been charged with espionage and will be immediately deported back to their country of origin. The foreign agent is then to be returned, without harm, to his/her/their country of origin. Foreign Representatives will continue to be allowed to speak in the "Messages" section of the National Forum unmolested. This act codifies longstanding Kalistani Tradition on foreign interference in Kalistani legislative debate. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
