Bill: A Secure Selucia
Details
Submitted by[?]: Foedere in medios Armed
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 4625
Description[?]:
We desire a better Selucia for all, one that respects the autonomy of our provinces and allows for a diversity of policies. This has been long enshrined in tradition, tradition that seems to erode over the passage of time. Yet we also recognise that all nations need to adapt, so we advocate for a Selucia that can face the challenges of the modern world yet keep its traditions secure. We do not believe these values to be contradictory, contrarily they have secured us for the ages. Selucia has always been a hub of culture and sacred institutions but it is time to rediscover it and make that evident to the world at large. Ave, Selucia! Quia fuimus sumus, et quia sumus erimus! (Hail, Selucia! Because we were, we are, and because we are, we shall be!) |
