I think that in proposing this law, JALU3 probably had good intentions, but he's going to hurt smaller nations, especially those that produce very common goods, or that already have weak economies.
I'm proposing some discussion and possible modification to the bill here:

I have already replyed in game. My intention was that everyone within the alliance be able to trade, and have diplomatic levels, that were as equally favorable to all within it. That is, we all provide to the others within the alliance the goods which they need, at the lowest price. That means, they are able to have more funds to spend on items that one cannot get within the alliance, with those nations who are outside it. What's the term, the economy of shared quantity?
However, I do agree it should have been passed within more than 2 of 10 total member nations. Thus as I responded, that maybe in the future all legislation must be cosponsored by 1/2 of total member nations +1 member nations in order for legislation even to be proposed, thus it would pass, if all cosponsers vote yes, automatically upon being put up to a vote.
