Bill: Strategic Industries Bill 2076
Details
Submitted by[?]: Patriarchal 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: October 2079
Description[?]:
| It is unacceptable that many vital industries in Davostan are privately-run. Such industries should be nationalised in order to ensure that vital services continue to run whatever the state of the economy. I propose that the following services are nationalised over the next few years: a) Trains b) Buses/coaches c) Energy d) Postal service e) Telecommunications infrastructure* *By "infrastructure" I mean the physical elements of the land-line telecommunications network. This includes all terrestrial phone lines and exchanges. However, private companies will be allowed to subscribe to the government network and then charge their customers however they like, under the auspices of a regulatory body. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on industry and subsidies to industrial operations.
Old value:: The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries.
Current: Certain industries are owned by the state, all others are under private ownership.
Proposed: Certain industries are owned by the state, all others are under private ownership.

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
