Democritus Regional Senate (Democritus Only)

[Empire of the United Kingdom]

DRS Proposal 10: Pax Terra Solar System Act

Noting that as the nations of Democritus begin to reach the limits of resource consumption and population housing, governments will turn their attentions to planets in Space.

Further noting that our Solar System is of significance to all nations in the region, and as such should be spared full colonization and terraforming.

Acknowledging that there are millions of other planets in the cosmos outside of our solar system that are not of such significance.

Hereby:

Establishes our Solar System (excluding Earth) as a 'Zone of Galactic Neutrality', in which PMT and FT combat are forbidden, as are all forms of terraforming, mining, and colonization. Our solar system will remain neutral in galactic affairs.

Reaffirms the right of all nations to wage wars, colonize, and mine on Earth so long as it does not breach the laws of this Senate, or the regional Constitution.

AYES: New Metropolitan France, The Grand Restored Russian Empire, Amarti Patriae, The Singaporean Federation, The Underground Movement Union, Losconia.

NAYS:

Empire of the United Kingdom

DRS Proposal 11: Condemn The New Byzantine II

The nation of The New Byzantine II has been noted being very aggressive to very passive civilized countries. They say that the countries themselves are still free, but under the rule of the "Emperor"

How must a country be free within the grasp of another country, if with its former government still in power. Due to this recent aggression, Akksum wishes the region of Democritus to condemn the actions taken by New Byzantine II.

Hereby

This Condemnation will bring about an embargo, and relations dismantled between nations of Democritus and New Byzantine II, UNTIL the nation released the countries it unlawfully took over spouting Imperialism.

Ayes: The Underground Movement Union, The Turkish State

"We need a definition of 'Reaffirms equality across the region' - what does that do? Also, we recommend the Senate's peacekeeping force be able to deploy abroad if authorized by the Senate."

[The Singaporean Federation]

I do agree with NMF. But I do see a potential problem. What about pacifist nations in the region that have small defense forces? They may not be able to spare many troops.

"We need a definition of 'Reaffirms equality across the region' - what does that do? Also, we recommend the Senate's peacekeeping force be able to deploy abroad if authorized by the Senate."

I assume that means using the Capitals Defense forces to assert equality among the region, as in making sure nations treat people equality and fairly.
