Details
Submitted by[?]: Likaton Coalition of the Willing

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.

Description[?]:
| In order to end the religiour disagreement in Likatonia, we feel that there should be a religious doctrine enshrined within law, that benefit the nation fiscally, and through the subjagation of other, non-state-approved faiths. We propose that the core beliefs of the Brotherhood of the Holy Star be enshrined in law; 1) That all Likatonians, regardless of income, race, or gender are equal. 2) That all Likatonians should share a common goal. 3) That the nation of Likatonia be freed from it's links to the nefarious Axis Mundi 4) That the state should be free to manage National and International affairs, whilst placing local powers in the hands of state appointed local mayors/Holy Star ministers 5) That all Likatonians pay a tithe to the state religion 6) That Likatonia accepts that freedom comes at a price, and trusts the government to make the correct decisions. |
