Bill: The Gaduri Institute of Technological Advance (GITA)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Traxian Imperial Party
Status[?]: passed
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: June 2298
Description[?]:
| We here in the TIP believe that we need to promote scientific advancement to bring Gaduridos up to date with the world and encourage growth in our nation. This Institute will also allow us to strengthen our nation, not only socially, but militarily. We need to be strong against the enemies that could one day appear. As such we wish to see state owned national defence industries to work along side the institute and research new technologies, to this end we should start researching and developing a nuclear deterent. We can also implement a fully nationalised Space Agency as technology developed for this will be kept by us and used by everyone. Pharmaceuticals should also be subisidised to allow innovation by smaller companies which could present cures/treatments to long term and/or terminal diseases. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
