Bill: Defending the Nation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Konservative Partei
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 4491
Description[?]:
The notion that we should deny ourselves the most effective weapons in warfare is absurd. Even more absurd is the notion that we would only allow the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons if "another nation uses them first". What is the point of that? Why should we wait until another country has started to blow us to smithereens before we consider using such weapons? This law will ensure that our policies on the development and use of weapons reflect a simple truth: that the security of our citizens ought is among our greatest priorities as a nation. - Mariella Wand, defence minister. |

Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
