Welcome to the Parliament of Saint Hilda!

What is this?
This is a character-driven RP in which we roleplay as politicians in a fictional nation. This RP, now the NS Parliament, has origins in the former NSG Senate. We have two simple starting guidelines:

    1. We are the island nation of Saint Hilda, located in the northern Lesser Antilles near Guadeloupe.
    2. A parliamentary system of government is being established, taken from Sweden, from which we just gained independence and with which we share a monarch.
The rest is up to the players! In this RP, we will legislate and politick, ally and backstab, and so much more! It is your choice what your character will be. Prominent and outspoken? Shady and quiet? Progressive? Conservative? Fascist? Communist? Centrist? Government? Opposition? Crossbencher? Journalist? Activist? The list goes on!

As soon as you submit you application, unless rejected, you become a Member of the (imaginary) Parliament of Saint Hilda (or Sankta Hilda in Swedish). You can then feel free to begin participating in the RP. You can do things like drafting a bill, voting on bills, and joining or creating a political party.

Where does it all go on?
We have four threads. There's this one, for applications, creating/joining parties, and all OOC discussion about our RP. There's the Chamber, where bills are debated, amended and voted upon. There's the Office, where bills are presented, discussed before they reach the Chamber, and kept before and after going to the Chamber.There's Life Outside, where all RP that happens outside the Chamber (campaigning, news stories, daily life, etc) goes on. If you want to flesh out your characters, use our Character Database in Forum 7. Any other threads that may be created also go in Forum 7. Our official Discord server can be found here.

Parliament OOC/Apps
As the name suggests, for applications and OOC discussion.
Parliament Chamber
For debating, voting on, and amending bills. Strictly IC.
Parliament Office (You are here)
For revising and submitting bills and storing them before and after they go to a vote. Mostly OOC, sometimes IC.
Life Outside
For all RP outside the Chamber, from a walk in a park to a bomb planted in a restaurant. Strictly IC.
Character Database
For cataloguing all characters, from politicians to companies to pets. Mostly IC.

Who's in charge?
Our administrators run the RP and their decisions are final.
We don't have strict rules, other than that godmodding is prohibited and our admins are fully in charge.
In the case of rule violations or unacceptable conduct, the offender will be warned. After two admin warnings within a month, disciplinary actions may escalate to a suspension or eventually a ban.

How do I get started?

We seek to submit a bill proposing the nationalisation of food, water, electricity, gas and housing.

These things are essential to the lives of modern citizens, so we argue they should be nationalised and then distributed for free to those who need it.

You should probably actually draft the bill, i.e. make it look like an actual law. Then people could give you better advice.

§4 - Funding
  1. 2% of the budget will be spent on public works projects, mainly on the aforementioned apartments

This is not nearly specific enough to be enforceable.

EDIT: That sounded harsher than I meant for it to. I appreciate the effort but it should probably be more specific.

Heinz Buckliger, racist as ever, knocks on the door of the temporary Speaker from the last parliamentary sitting and hands him a bill. Afterwards, as he's ushered into the man's office, the Speaker asks Heinz whether he'd like some coffee.

"Yes please, but all cream. I don't take my coffee- or my people- black."

Legislative Bill 88
Author: Heinz Buckliger, MP for Neukölln

  4. be of Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, or Francien blood;
  5. or are lighter than color palette # E0AC69 at birth;

§2 - That all such White persons be rightfully and legally entitled to the following:
  1. The right to own darker-skinned human chattel than themselves;
  2. to appropriate such items and valuables as might be deemed necessary by any White over any other race;
  3. to be members of certain groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the NSDAP, and the Sweden Democrats party;
  4. to be exempt from being stopped, judged, or otherwise punished by a darker-skinned officer of the law/justice than themselves;
  5. to be exempt from a 50% tariff on all independently-made (i.e. non-slavery) goods on the island, which shall be imposed upon that group of people when this bill passes;
  6. and that all White people, including the landless and the destitute, be allowed to treat and legally expect all blacks to be treated as no more than animals.

§3 - Resolved that, in order to safeguard the purity and quality of the White race, that:
  1. abortions be made wholly and entirely illegal for White women, with exceptions for cases of incest, rape, miscegenation, or mental/physical deficiency;
  2. that mixing between any White person and another of different racial heritage be made illegal, with special dispensation for the violation of this law, up to and including execution of the offender(s) and the abortion of any resultant offspring;
  3. that all non-Whites be unceremoniously ejected from any offices, public or private, that they may hold, effective immediately;
  4. that all non-Whites have their citizenship and human rights revoked, and that any such peoples be forced to declare their owners to the nearest authorities, unless given a special dispensation from the Central Government in Stockholm (subject to approval and change by the Saint Hilda Legislature);

OOC: This bill is now in its final form. I have edited the term of the Speaker to be one parliamentary term as defined by law. Unfortunately, it does not exactly follow the format, since it was drafted before the format was posted.

I hope that this bill will be one of the first to be considered, and that it may pass with any required amendments, with the support of all parties and members.

The bill is very long, so I felt that a Google doc format is better than drafting it on the NS forums (where it is liable to get wiped if drafts are not saved properly).
