Bill: Industrial Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Union of Work-Shy Elements
Status[?]: passed
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: October 2152
Description[?]:
| The government has tinkered and tampered with the industry of this nation for too long. If an industrial venture is viable and well run then it will prosper globally. If it is poorly run and faces absolutely no competition then it will become stagnant and uncreative. No amount of interference or futile protectionist policies can change this fact. We propose opening up all the industries of Kundrati to competition and to international investment. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on industry and subsidies to industrial operations.
Old value:: The state owns the commanding heights of the economy and all major industries, but private ownership is allowed in the minor industries.
Current: The government acts as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services.
Proposed: The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries.

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
