We need to consider these proposals. The HPP wish to change priority considering the money spent by our government. We wish to restructure the public sector and therefore propose these ammendments.

Message | Nay on both counts. It's high time Hobrazia is kept clean for future Hobrazians! |
Date | 23:37:29, July 08, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Reform on ecological matters (2nd try) |
Message | Nay. Current technology already allows for the production of environmentally clean vehicles so relaxing those laws on vehicle ownership would make little sense. In regard article 2, the facilities are already in place for mandatory recycling and as household waste can account for anything from 0.3% of hazardous waste up to 45% of organic waste, removing the mandatory recycling from the residential sector would increase waste production by a substansive amount. |

Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
