Bill: Progressive Reform Bill - Arms Industry Innovation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Party
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: July 2176
Description[?]:
| We find that monopolistic state ownership of the arms industry stifles any innovation from competition and the research and development of better weaponry. Not only that, but states with private arms industries can innovate and sell their superior arms to Likatonia and other countries denying our arms industry valuable export markets. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The nation's defence industry.
Old value:: The state owns all defence industries.
Current: The state owns national defence industries but these exist alongside privately owned defence industries.
Proposed: Defence industries are privately owned and not subsidised.

| Message | Private industries have been historically more innovative and effecient than state run ones, so we feel that this is not only good, but essential to provide the most modern defense of our fair land. |

| 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. |
