Bill: Research Whaling
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican 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: March 4181
Description[?]:
| Whaling for commerce is a dramatic step forward and would require strict protocols in order to ensure successful implementation. Whaling for commerce is also a nonessential practice, whereas scientific whaling has major benefits. Whaling for scientific purposes provides two roles. 1. Whaling for science allows the people of Belusia to more completely understand the world around us. We are able to completely understand and obtain DNA patterns, whale migration trends and other essential information through rigorously controlled whaling. Information about the spread of pathogens could be especially critical in the event of a seafood-related disease outbreak. Whale meat, fat and other components will still be sold and monitored by the government to prevent mindless waste of the animal's product. 2. It creates the foundation for the government to decide how to correctly and efficiently regulate whaling practices should the country so choose to permit commercial whaling in the future. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |

This is the kind of jingoistic ideology Zardugal would bring to the Security Council. They will throw countless lives away in pursuit of former glory." - Prince Akhaias, former Coburan royal |
