Bill: The Prince-Presidential Grand Initiative to Return to the Good Old Days - Section B: Economic and Justice Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Prince-Republican League - New EAPP
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: September 4671
Description[?]:
With the general slump of liberal decay and degeneration setting in, the Prince-Presidential Bureau has become noticeably more active in their actions and attempts to break through the decades-long stagnation and return to the Lodamese glory days. Not all’s yet lost, after all. The cars are still banned, His Serene Augustness reminds himself. Lodamese nature is still taken care of and distances between different communites are as long as ever. |
