Nation States 2

[UnderseaLcpl]

I'm posting this here as well as the alliance forum to get our member nations to sit up and take notice of what just happened.

Essentially, two nations just decided that everyone else is bound by law to sell their goods at garage-sale prices.
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 tend to agree, limiting us to priority with the entire alliance means we can't make our own trade agreements outside it properly

KP should also get those Alliance offices established

Oh, life in Northwestern Bigfootia is great now if someone wants to immigrate

Following new legislation passed in Northwestern Bigfootia, religious people are quickly renouncing their faith as the government hunts down and kills "those crazy heretics".

State execution is one of the most common causes of death in Northwestern Bigfootia.

The nation's leader has recently been awarded the title Supreme Dictator for Life.

Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway.

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.

Since we allowed to nominate our own nations to offices in the alliance, I have nominated myself to be the Alliance Chief.

No, you haven't, you only made a post in the forum about that...

Or maybe I just don't see it until it updates...

I did make a post about it, but I also didn't saw where the nation Northwestern Bigfootia was elected to be elevated to the Head of Foreign Affaris, or that it was agreed that such an office be created, other than that there be elected officials, at it did not say what those offices were, what their responsibilities be, and for what terms, in any legislation.

And nominated...

I have proposed the following law under the name 'The Subsim Alliance' passage of legislation into law act
