Bill: International Society of Bankers - Military Reforms
Details
Submitted by[?]: International Society of Bankers
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: September 2165
Description[?]:
| Due to the powerful economy of Lodamun, Bankers have flocked to the Nation of Lodamun. Sadly, the nation is changing, and the Bankers cannot have this. We have united to see the restoration of the old Lodamun, the one of small government, the one of prosperity, the one of liberty. Already countless corporations that gave millions of jobs to our people have left to find less regulated ports of call, and the people are dying. So we have united. So us bankers shall restore libertarianism, and through which restore life to this deceased nation. < This political organisation is in no way affiliated with the defunct Libertarian Militia, though it does not deny its similarities to the Militia. > |

| Message | Actually, yes. You minimize the government when you can eliminate the entire police department and allow the military to take over that job. I never said anything about the government being less powerful, dont put words in my mouth. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
