Bill: The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon
Details
Submitted by[?]: Communist Party of Endralon
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2048
Description[?]:
The socialist character of our nation is clear. Out of 8 political parties in the National Assembly, 6 are socialist. Furthermore, there has never been a non-socialist cabinet. While Endralon is not yet a socialist country, it is clear that we are moving in a socialist direction and will establish socialism as soon as possible (OOC: As soon as the economy is introduced to the game). To acknowledge our socialist orientation, we propose to rename our nation the Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon. |

Date | 21:44:39, May 05, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |

Date | 21:45:47, May 05, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |

Date | 22:50:16, May 05, 2005 CET | From | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |

Date | 06:30:37, May 06, 2005 CET | From | MLC Old Endralonian Resistance | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | I agree that names such as these would be an improvement I was considering proposing a similar bill but couldnt come up with a name that sounded quite right, I think the best name so far is peoples democracy and I like the motto "workers of the world ,unite" as it removes some of the nationalistic sentiment typical of such regalia. |
Date | 11:47:53, May 06, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | I very much like the current motto (well, I would, wouldn't I? I wrote it after all :p). I like the name "Socialist Commonwealth" best of all, and I'll get to work on improving our flag. Never mind the opposition of the NLP - we have a 2/3 majority without them. |
Date | 15:58:49, May 06, 2005 CET | From | Unified Communist Labor Party | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | Put this up for a vote. |
Date | 19:52:42, May 06, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | Ok, I've just added my proposed new flag (I can still edit it while the bill is in voting, don't worry). |
Date | 20:06:04, May 06, 2005 CET | From | MLC Old Endralonian Resistance | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | I agree that flag is an improvement , will you be adding another article for the name? |
Date | 20:40:00, May 06, 2005 CET | From | Unified Communist Labor Party | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | I don't like the fist. Change it to another star, or leave it out. |
Date | 20:41:52, May 06, 2005 CET | From | Unified Communist Labor Party | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | And that shade of green is a touch military, don't you think? Maybe a deeper green. I think if you remove the big star and the fist, and change the green, it'll kick ass. |
Date | 20:41:55, May 06, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | What's wrong with the fist...? It's an established socialist symbol. |
Date | 21:53:29, May 06, 2005 CET | From | Unified Communist Labor Party | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | It's too angry...are we the Angry Socialist Militants of Endralon? The fist is a good symbol for political organizations, but not for a country. |
Date | 22:54:48, May 06, 2005 CET | From | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | I will vote yes as long as it doesnt become communist, I am for the the people and the military |
Date | 10:10:43, May 07, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | How about a hammer & sickle instead of the fist then? |
Date | 10:11:40, May 07, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | (I've made that change to the flag) |
Date | 14:00:58, May 07, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | We also support a hammer and sickle on the flag to symbolise the communist nature of Endralon. |
Date | 20:26:23, May 07, 2005 CET | From | Unified Communist Labor Party | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | I can support this flag. |
Date | 01:46:14, May 08, 2005 CET | From | Unified Communist Labor Party | To | Debating the The Socialist Commonwealth of Endralon |
Message | Ok then...we need to let the game admin know that we have a 2/3 majority for this country name, and he'll change it. |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
