Bill: PIK7: Ecology Preservation and Exploitation Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Partidul Independenței a Trei Republici
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: June 4378
Description[?]:
| Honourable Deputies, It is necessary for us to create a balance between the exploitation and the preservation of the natural landscape. This is particularly true for the resource-rich regiune of Kutohaderia and hence the Kuzaki Republic. For this reason we believe it necessary to reduce the Confederation's control over such measures, and allow the individual republics to preserve the environment. |

| Message | Honourable Deputies, We are extremely disappointed that the government has decided not to support our proposals. We believe they are a fair mix between preservation and exploitation. Further they help give the Republics more control over the areas of land they control. We would request that the government informs us of the reasons why it has not lent its support to this bill.

| Message | Honourable Deputies, We have decided to vote against this bill because enviroment isn't a task for the republics. Actually, enviroment isn't even a task for the Confederation. Pollution doesn't stop at the border. Clean air is a matter for us all! If we leave the enviroment to the republics they will be irresponsivle and leave the pollution alone to increase their economy. Responsible Republics will then have to compensate for the other Republics and will lose their economy. Mihaili, High Chancellor of the Confederation |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
