I've lost track of time, to be honest. I don't really do NS anymore, I mostly keep Unicario around as a "Testament to happier days". There was senior year, my kidney stone, freshman year of college, dieting, gaining back the weight, sophomore year of college, getting a job and trying to make ends meet...

Things tend to flow downhill. :P

From the Desk of the President

RE: Presidential Commission on Healthcare
I am pleased to announce the appointment of a Presidential Commission on Healthcare. This Commission, which will meet over the course of the following week, will research, review, and report to my office on the various options for healthcare in Fernão. Through rigorous examination of the systems utilized in other countries and the circumstances under which they are used, the Commission will produce a draft of my administration's health bill.

The Commission will be chaired Secretary-Designate of Health and Labour Alexios Viel (Tectonix), accompanied by appointees Senators Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz (Soviet Cancukistan) and Angelina Acosta (Anere). This multipartisan Commission will be accepting testimony from elected officials regarding options for Fernão's health options. Senators, state executives, and assemblymen are encouraged to submit remarks to Senator Viel for consideration by the Commission.

Vienna Eliot
President of the Republic

So, Bill Depository. We screwed up by losing the thread. What we're going to do is not establish a new thread, but rather revert to the old method. We'll have a set list of links to bills in the Coffee Shop. This list will be maintained by the speaker, and after votes, the admins will place an updated version in the Chamber OP. Any comments/concerns/questions?

This is all under the assumption that things would be updated by the admins.

The new list after votes? Yes, we can do that much at least.

Godmodding in this situation is getting seriously out-of-hand. However, what remains very clear is that Sen. Bella has been charged with possession of a deadly weapon and attempted murder. Ainin is the police, and he has the right to charge that — as a result, we'll be seeing how to go forward from there.

He's been godmodding this whole time. It's ridiculous. Ainin, just ignore anything he posts in Daily Life.

Oh, yeah, I wanted to mention that I changed my character's lore just a tiny bit.
Everything but his family's the same, but I realized that I had
made his mother pass away after his birth and before his younger brother. Also his older brother looked younger than him. :p

So, basically, switched the brothers' ages and fixed the mother's time of death.
