Bill: Morality Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Traxian Imperial Party
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: October 2153
Description[?]:
| We have come to the realisation that crime is high because the country lacks a moral centre. So to increase the morality of the nation, and help people respect the nation we propose the following: Funding the upkeep of monuments will allow people to see them in a good state and help people understand we respect our history which will help them to be proud of their country. Having laws regarding the use of the national flag will also make people proud of their country. Having a state religion which is voluntary will give an official country moral code avaiable to the country, so giving more people a conscious |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
