Description[?]:
| The following bill proposes a set of reforms to Telamon in line with Brethrenist Principles. Comment on this Bill: We seek to both ensure that Telamon is insulated from foreign influences, as well as tamp down on the secular influences within our own country. None of the limitations on freedoms are too onerous, we simply want to ensure that everything falls into the moral side of relationships between people. |
