Penta supports this bill in the most part, but opposes section 26. No one is above the law.

"You seem to have missed Article 26's following list, which includes exemptions to a Member's immunity, which includes any felonious crime and theft, for starters."

"It still puts them above the law for minor crimes, which I am against. I would like to see any exemption removed."

Me likey. You have Senator Buckliger's support for the Education Bill.

On a side note, I'm coming up with a bill for the defence forces and customs/immigration services; it should be up in a day or so.

[Duestchstien]

What if we made the amount of representatives for each municipality proportional. Cause some districts have a couple thousand, while others are in the tens of thousands which is a big difference.

Then everybody would jack up their numbers more. I feel that maybe the admins should make a table with the names and pre-set populations of all of Saint Hilga's districts on the main OOC page, and then that those that aren't already taken should be chosen by anyone who comes in new. That could work without making anyone cheat...

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

“We should outlaw all non-authorised substances to prevent the rise of New Psychedelic Substances in our communities. But you can count me in as a sponsor.”

Ooc: What's your senator's name?

OOC: Henry John Wallstone Sr.

We could actually campaign and fight for our seats. There's really no point in who or what we vote for since it doesn't affect our popularity. We're effectively an oligarchy because we don't have elections.

"I am against this. The gold standard was abandoned for good reason. It is inflexible and inhibits growth. Furthermore, if someone were to import lots of gold, they could disrupt the economy significantly. Just put in about 50% of the country in gold - which won't be too much since we're quite small and gold-poor, wait for the inflation to take hold, then withdraw it, causing deflation and an economic crash. Also, you mention nothing about the purity of gold and such. I would normally be as gracious to say that it only needs a little improvement, but I'm afraid your understanding of economics - or lack thereof - have caused this to be economic suicide. Take my word, I have an economics degree."

I don't really think that normal ingredients could properly be classed as dangerous.
