Bill: Nationalising the National Power Grid Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Totalitarian 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: April 2163
Description[?]:
| Presently, the national power grid is owned and maintained by many separate private companies. The Totalitarian Party feels this will lead to inefficiencies in the distribution of energy in our nation. Therefore, we propose the national government take over the operation and management of the power grid. While allowing a single private company to manage the entire grid is an option, we cannot trust a private company with such great responsibility. Private companies are driven by profit, while our government's primary goal is the well-being of the citizens of our nation. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on the nation's power grid.
Old value:: Multiple private companies each own and maintain sections of the national power grid.
Current: Each region owns and maintains its own power grid.
Proposed: The national grid is fully owned by the state.

In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
