Bill: Hutorian Culture Act (December 3738)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ultranationalist 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: September 3756
Description[?]:
| We are changing our policy in regards to religion and no longer regard it as being detrimental to our society but something altogether crucial to the promotion and health of Hutorian culture. May we take great pleasure in announcing Antonio Mancini as our new deputy leader and may we wish him luck in assisting our great leader Vladimir Reznikov in making the party in his mission to make the party more moderate. May we also take this opportunity to commemorate our time spent with the late Ismael Khan and may we welcome Sheban Khan, his young brother into the political mould. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, I must say that I am astonished how the UNP can change their policy from being far leftist one day and then far rightist the next. You were against the legality of religion a little time ago and now you support a state religion? This is not a good way to build up the popular support of our democracy. We in the Radical Alliance do however salute your policy change from being rather fascist and reactionary to now being more and more centrist. And may I personally congratulate Antonio Mancini of becoming the UNP's new Deputy Leader. Agatha Stuart President Party Leader Radical Alliance |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
