Bill: A Shinning Nation on a Hill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Order of Valtiel
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: April 2316
Description[?]:
| Currently Dranland is an open nation allowing any one number of filthy unwashed and uncultured hordes from disease ridden nations to come into Dranland and increase the poverty and crime rates. This bill will correct that problem by turning us into a Shinning Nation on a Hill, the eternal example of glory and power for the rest of the world to follow but to never enter and mess up. All Glory to the Future Dranian Imperium! |

| Message | Mr Tillerson has become quite attached to his Egelion serving maid in recent times. It would be such a shame to lose her "talents" if this bill passed. |

| Message | No one from foreign lands should be welcome in Dranland, they bring nothing but disease, poverty, crime, ethnic wars, and ruin the livehoods of good honest-to-salt Dranians. Dranland for Dranians! Not for a bunch of foreign hippies looking for a free meal ticket! |

| Message | DPLP, what the hell are you banging on about? Your coming out of hibernation is to be applauded, but try and make some sense if you please! This bill would have outlawed foreigners in this nation. Mr Tillerson has a foreign serving maid, hence his concern. Just what the "ludicrous insinuations" are, only the DPLP knows! |
