I.....already did that....

[Senate President pro Tempore]

Debate has officially started on International Relations Section B.

[New Zepuha]

God save the Queen.

[Ainin]

Opposed to "Ratification of the United Nations Charter" because of the misleading title.

[Yanalia]

I don't understand the EFTA. Why would we want to be bound by EU rules without having a voice in them?

[Finium]

I don't understand the EFTA. Why would we want to be bound by EU rules without having a voice in them?

More importantly, why would we want to jump into the messiest finical place possible?

[Phocidaea]

Final vote count. Fine then. Bow down to your Queen of England. You only have yourself to blame for perpetuating British imperialism.

[Finium]

Final vote count. Fine then. Bow down to your Queen of England. You only have yourself to blame for perpetuating British imperialism.

Britain is hardly imperialist any more.

[Unicario]

Final vote count. Fine then. Bow down to your Queen of England. You only have yourself to blame for perpetuating British imperialism.

Oh for the love of..

Senator von Hohenzollern would be seen slamming her head on her desk in her office sometime later.

[Venaleria]

Final vote count. Fine then. Bow down to your Queen of England. You only have yourself to blame for perpetuating British imperialism.

This is beside the point from debate now. The Senate has spoken. You can't turn it around unless you write a repeal.

Please stick to the current bills, not the ones just voted on.

[Brissia]

Yay, we're in the Commonwealth! My British heritage makes me dance for joy.

[Maklohi Vai]

Yay, we're in the Commonwealth! My British heritage makes me dance for joy.

Actually, we're not. The bill just orders the government to seek Commonwealth membership.

[Brissia]

Well, either way, we're trying to get in.

So.....how's everyone today?

An Act for the Establishment of National Honours for Extraordinary Achievements in the Arts.
SIMBEDS-Domestic Development
Urgency-Low.
Author-Jean-Henri Rousseau (Christian Democrat)
Cosponsors- Maklohi Vai, Mediciano, New Zepuha, Central and Eastern Visayas, Cadicarrech, Potenco, Seitonjin

Preamble. Realising that many countries award achievement in the arts through titles and honours. The Senate and the People of Aurentina thus endeavour to establish such a system to promote the arts and use extraordinary artistic talent for state functions.

1.0. Concerning the Poet Laureate of Aurentina, the Senate and the People of Aurentina may endow one exceptional individual the lifetime honour of Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Aurentina.

1.1 The holder of the title of Poet Laureate may be reimbursed by the Senate with a suitable sum of money.

1.2 The Poet Laureate will be responsible for the composition and recitation of solumn and triumphant odes for state functions when the Senate or Culture Ministry call upon them.

1.3 There can only exist one Poet Laureate at any one time and the title is only lost through the death, resignation or public disgrace of the Poet Laureate. Public disgrace is defined as a criminal or moral indecency performed by the poet laureate of such magnitude that the Senate deems it fit to remove the title from its current holder.

2.0 On the State Chronicler.

2.1 The Senate and the People of Aurentina may appoint a state chronicler who will be responsible for writing down the official history of the nation to be preserved for posterity. They may also function as the official photographer of the government.

2.2 The Senate may choose to reimburse the State Chronicler with a suitable sum of money.

2.3 There can only exist one State Chronicler at one moment in time and the office can only be lost through the death, resignation or public disgrace of the office holder.

The Senate of Aurentina therefore passes An Act for the Establishment of National Honours for Extraordinary Achievements in the Arts.

RoG: You'll find that there is no SIMBIDS category for Culture. In fact, there is actually no SIMBIDS category at all. There is, however, a SIMBEDS category for Domestic Development....

I'm assuming you mean that?

Yes. What can I say? I've been out of the loop.

Wait, what? The EFTA gives us free trade with the rest of Europe, and is what countries like Switzerland and Norway have done because they want to stay out of the EU. Why not?

I don't really like abiding EU laws without being able to participate in their creation.

OR, we could just negotiate free-trade agreements with the nations worth trading with, like Switzerland and Norway, and not deal with all of the nasty stuff that happens to nations that get too close to the EU.
