Bill: Abolition of the Nobility
Details
Submitted by[?]: Parti des Travailleurs
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 4628
Description[?]:
| We in the Parti des Travailleurs, who in turn represent all the working classes of Kanjor, find abhorrent the idea that wealthy landowners are conferred titles, and those titles in turn pass to children. The only use of these titles is to divide people on the basis of wealth, and in many cases, race. This practice must end, and the nobility must be no more. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
