Bill: Patriotic Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluzian 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: January 4412
Description[?]:
| OOC: Due to his falling popularity, President Wewecho Pantafloja has found the obligation to give a few crumbs to the lower classes of Beluzian society and to Beluzian nationalists, after having handed control of most of the economy to Likatonian companies; he considered carefully where he could do such thing without damaging his own interests. In the end he took some proposals from the left-wing parties that didn´t directly affect his own finances too much, put them inside a flask, agitated it and picked 8. IC: Adress from President Dr Wewecho Pantafloja Junior to Beluzia: "Beluzians, this is an address of utmost importance, I promised that I would protect the national interests of Beluzia and I will do it, I call for Beluzians to avoid the siren chants of an opposition that promises heaven with no way to reach it, These demagogies plan to return us to the chaos of the middle 4370s, and their economic vision is nothing but cheap populism, i trust that Beluzians are intelligent enough to notice it It is one thing to have the state protect the interests of Beluzia, and a whole different thing to have it own every inch of land for the shake of it, like the opposition proposes" |
