Details

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: May 3712
Description[?]:
| Coburans! The tide of history has turned, and the hour of your freedom is here! The time has come for us to cast the bonds of servitude and submission, to crush the shackles of imperialism and minority rule, so that all of us, Augustan, Irkawan, Tokundian, Mallan, and Majatran alike can live together in peace and harmony. The dictatorial single party state of the People's Representative Party is living its last moments, as the Augustan minority rule will give way for a truly democratic and independent Cobura. Out with the Zardic and Deltarian imperialists, out with foreign capital, and out with injustice! Cobura rises today! |
