I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA! The top two candidates can have a presidential debate with questions submitted by us senators!

What if many questions are asked at a small amount of time? What do they do?

We should post our questions beforehand and the mods pick the best ones.

Where should we post our questions, and is there a length limit to them? I have a question, but it is about a paragraph long.

We will have to let the admins sort out a place, this is assuming the candidates agree to it.

Since it was my idea, can I name it? I got some sponsorship deals... How about "The Presidential Debate: Sponsored by Gallup Cheese Globs. So Cheesy it Hurts!"

Hippo's suggestion regarding music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu4fBSGGsdY
With my suggestion for lyrics (ripped off Terran empire):-

HaiL Aurentina! All Hail Aurentina!
Sacred Home
By heroes guarded
Augrentina, Impera!
Our Destiny call us onward
Augrentina, Impera!
March to future
Augrentina, Impera!

Come True and Brave Ones
Earth to guard
With strength and honour
Augrentina, Impera!
Onward to Raging Battle
Augrentina, Impera!
Well not surrender
Augrentina, Impera!

Vile Foes and Traitors
Come not here
Well not be victims
Augrentina, Impera!
For Stars after Stars Fall
Augrentina, Impera!
HaiL Aurentina! All Hail Aurentina!

Aurentia is an empire now? I thought it was a former colonial subject?

Why? I quite liked it, even if its just for shivers. And on lyrics?

I dont like Deutschlandlied, it just felt like same thing being repeated over and over again.

It's a hell of a lot better than an army march that screams we're an empire.

Firearms Act (2013)
Urgency: Moderate

Drafted by: Britcan [TR]
Sponsored by: Ceannairceach [TR], Polvia [RG], Great Nepal [CFE], Agritum [TR], Arglorand [TR]

I) The private ownership of all fully automatic and burst-fire weapons, any firearm with a magazine capable of holding more than seven rounds, any firearms disguised as another item, rockets and mortars, any weapon designed or adapted for the discharge of noxious gases, fluids or other substance and any firearms that previously fell into a prohibited category but have since been converted is hereby banned.

II) The ownership of explosive, incendiary, noxious (biological, chemical) and armour piercing ammunition types by civilians is hereby banned.

III) The possession, provided the owner has a valid Firearms Ownership Certificate (henceforth known as a FOC), for each weapon, of all other types of firearm and their ammunition is permitted. All firearms must be kept in a secure storage unit on the property of the owner.

IV) In order to acquire a FOC, which shall be issued by the police, the owner must; be over 18 years of age, have no criminal record, be able to convince the police that they have a good reason for owning the weapon if the case manager requests them to do so, have no record of serious mental health issues, be able to provide the police with a valid form of identification, give the police two referees of good character who may be interviewed by the police at the discretion of the case manager, have the storage unit where the weapon will be kept inspected and deemed sufficiently secure by the police, go through an interview with a police officer if the case manager deems it necessary and submit to a thorough background check. Case managers are encouraged to go through as many steps as are necessary to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that the owner will not be a threat to others. Only when all these steps have been satisfactorily completed will a license be issued, which must be renewed every 5 years.

V) Good reason may include, but is not limited to, target shooting, hunting, self defence and the collection of historic and black-powder weapons, but not participation in a paramilitary. If the reason for owning the weapon is self defence the weapon must be kept inside the home of the owner at all times. Case managers are encouraged to evaluate if the reason for ownership justifies the gun they intend to purchase.

VI) The penalty for the possession of a firearm without a certificate is a maximum of fifteen years in prison and an unlimited fine. The penalty for removing a firearm intended for self defence from the home is the confiscation of all the owners weapons, the revocation of their FOCs and a fine of up to 10,000NSD.

VII) The ownership of air pistols with a muzzle energy of under 8J and air rifles of energy under 16J without a licence for any person over the age of 16 is permitted and a person under 16 years of age may use an airgun while under the supervision of an adult. Weapons of higher energy are considered firearms and must be licensed as such. If a person is convicted of engaging in a crime while in possession of an airgun of any power they are to be considered armed, regardless of wether it was loaded or if they intended to use it.

VIII) The ownership of airsoft or other soft air guns firing plastic BBs without a licence provided the muzzle of the gun is painted a bright orange is permitted. However, they cannot be sold to persons under the age of 16 although persons under the age of 16 are permitted to use them while under supervision by an adult. In order to own a realistically painted soft air or other plastic BB gun a person must be at least 16 years of age, have a valid reason for wanting to own one (i.e. for airsoft skirmishing or re-enacting) and be a regular at an insured airsoft site.

I move to add this to the queue.

Do so in the coffee shop or the chamber.

Impera means rule... so it just means "Augrentina rules!".

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit,
fur das Aurentine Vaterland,
Danach lasst uns alle streben,
Bruderlich mit herz und hand,
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit,
Sind des Gluckes unterpfand,
Bluhe im Glanze, dieses Gluckes,
Bluhe, Auretine Vaterland!
