Bill: Industry Emergency Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Imperial Hobrazian Front
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: February 2168
Description[?]:
| IN order to ensure that Hobrazian citizens are given adequate service in vital areas, we propose that the Republic will nationalize companies that fail on their own. However, these will be limited to the following industries: power, water treatment, waste disposal, and agriculture of crops integral to subsistance. We cannot let the market dictate whether or not a hospital is able to have power or not; there needs to be some safeguards. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
