[The Licentian Isles]

I vote AYE to all, apart from the Ratification of the United Nations Charter, on which I ABSTAIN, since I'm not entirely sure what purpose it serves, the ILA seems to cover all of its points.

[Glasgia]

I vote FOR all acts currently at vote

I vote AYE to all, apart from the Ratification of the United Nations Charter, on which I ABSTAIN, since I'm not entirely sure what purpose it serves, the ILA seems to cover all of its points.

It was proposed at the same time as the ILA, without my knowledge of the previous act and I believe Ainin not knowing of my act when he proposed the ILA, and covers largely the same treaties. However, the RUNC also includes joining the IMF and that is the main diferrence between the two.

[Jamessonia]

I vote NAY in regards to the Ratification of the United Nations Charter.
I vote FOR in regards to The National Intelligencery Establishment Act
I vote FOR in regards to the Corps Creation Charter
I vote NAY in regards to the Market Protection Act
I vote FOR in regards to the Ratification of the European Free Trade Agreement
I vote FOR in regards to the First Amendment to the Membership of the Commonwealth of Nations

II. NACRER shall be a government-sponsored agency responsible for the improvement of existing energies (hydro-electric, wind, solar, tidal, wave, rain, geothermal, biofuel) and the research of new sources which may benefit our supply
III. NACRER shall be responsible for the support and continuation of the gradual change from non-renewable sources and fossil fuels to a completely renewable system
IV. NACRER shall also make scientific efforts to reduce the carbon footprint and unhealthy emissions of Aurentina through government sponsored advertisement campaigns as well as subprograms throughout the nation
