Bill: Church of Aldegar Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ducal Delegation
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: October 2203
Description[?]:
| There has long been pressure for Aldegar to resume its special relationship with its most longstanding church. A national church can bring the people together, officiate at national functions (e.g. state funerals) and in an age of crazy cults and sects and materialism, guide the people in the right direction. Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |
