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: September 4220
Description[?]:
| 1: Why should we treat diplomats from other countries higher then our own citizens? It is simple equality. 2: This is to confirm identities before giving someone a passport, to help find criminals and check identify. 3: We should also stop spending so much on other countries, and invest it into ourselves. 4: Accepting every single person claiming to be a refugee can lead to people faking their status, but we still do recognize that some genuinely cannot return to their country. |

| Message | 1: as we have always said, diplomats know how to behave, as this is their job. If they break any laws, they are just deported. 3: If we were in the same situation, we would like other nations to help us. We have a more than big economy, big enough to help with everything we can to other nations and still develop a strong Selucia 4: first of all is to give help to them. After that, they can be investigated if there is any trouble, but we cannot be segregating. |

| Message | I don't agree with all of the articles |
| Date | 15:47:55, June 02, 2017 CET | From | Triumviratus ad R.P. Instaurenda | To | Debating the Foreign Policy |
| Message | We have serious reservations about 1, 2, and 4. Article 1 touches on common international legal codes regulating diplomatic exchange, which would be unwise to touch. Articles 2 and 4 are expressions, as far as we are concerned, of this nation's charity, Hosian and otherwise, and in accordance with the commandment of love placed upon all men by our Lord, we would be hard-pressed to accept any such proposals. |
