Description[?]:
| This bill proposes shifting greater authority to Vanderburg for the benefit of the disposition of justice and the administration of law and order throughout Rutania. By giving greater authority to Vanderburg consistent policy nation-wide will normalize business practices and more throughout the nation increasing nation-wide efficiency and ending the problems of corrupt state governments that have remained dominated by socialist and communist despite over a decade of Moderate-right rule in the national government. The left and the center in the Commonwealth reached the consensus that Education should be a matter of the Federal government, we propose that just as the education of the youth is of such an importance that it is operated by the Federal government, the police, infrastructure and executive administration of the nation are also of that same importance and should be handled in Vanderburg. |
