Of course, if you had no intention of complying with a good faith interpretation, why post?

(OOC: If your banking system has no loans of any form, it wouldn’t be affected by this bill at all, seeing as this proposal addresses what happens after bankruptcy has been filed.)

OOC: Actually, not necessarily true, as you can end up in, say, gambling debt, without ever having taken out a bank loan. Or failing to pay normal bills and then failing to pay the collection agency's fees and so forth. Depends on the legal/financial system whether you end up being forced to declare bankruptcy, then, as I tried to explain earlier.Imperium Anglorum wrote:Claims you have a banking system.

OOC: How on earth do loans follow from having banks? And don't give me an economics lesson, I'm very aware of how banks generate money in RL (and how that often causes inflation bubbles). What I mean is, if you have a state-owned banking system that's just a way for people to store their money in the bank/support digital monetary system in addition to physical currency, you don't really need the banks to be able to generate money from charging people for taking out loans.

If you want to pretend nations can duck this because they don't have banks like most nations, that is all well and good.
Consider this me invoking the Reasonable Nation theory.

Or, you could impose taxation, which you then use to pay for those expenses. Which just happens to be ... charging people to put their money in a vault. And that is really just the same thing.

"Nationalized banks bearing the imprimatur of national governments should get priority for the same reason that national governments seeking taxes should get priority: that money isn't private, it's public, and generally necessary for the function of the state. I've a lot of respect for the sovereign powers of a government, and wouldn't want to step on any toes with regard to that."

Also, the opening of clause 5 there looks a lot like something that could be rolled into clause 4 there, with some tacking on at the end or something.
Finally, I basically get everything else in here, but what the flarf-narbler is this supposed to mean?"
