Bill: National Security Act Of 4162
Details
Submitted by[?]: Malivian People's 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: March 4164
Description[?]:
| This bill proposes changes to legislation to greatly improve national security. Malivia grants citizenship to all nationals, and anyone can claim nationality. In effect, with the current laws, anyone on the planet can claim citizenship and reside in Malivia with NO security checks/tests. We don't even confirm the identity of visitors. The People's Party see's these as major security threats. We should ensure that known terror and criminal groups are kept out of Malivia. |

| Message | I disagree with Article 2 of your bill. It might be very racist, unfair and unjust for the foreigners maybe they think. It would also impact on Malivian tourism. It just unfair. Marcus Antonio Alimpia Secretary General and Interim Premier, Politburo Chairman and Founder of the Malivian Socialist Party |
| Date | 13:59:48, February 09, 2017 CET | From | Malivian People's Party | To | Debating the National Security Act Of 4162 |
| Message | I think the wording of the particular law can be interpreted in more than one way. I propose that nations and groups that pose no security threat to Malivia would have an unlimited quota, while nations and groups known to pose threats to our security have a low or zero quota. It would differentiate depending on circumstance. |

| 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. |
