Crisis Within The Cirosian Nationalist Front [C.N.F.]
C.N.F. On The Rise After The 2210 Elections
The years of 2210-2215 were prosperous for not only the Republic but for the C.N.F. which was not only the largest party within the Senate but also successfully won the Presidency.
Growing Momentum And Mergers
The Cirosian Nationalist Front utilized their victories in the 2210 Elections to merge with the C.D.U. and H.F. bolstering their total seat count to 83 Seats and putting them as the most powerful Political Party in the Senate.
Crisis Strikes
Crisis struck the C.N.F. when the media discovered that a bloc within the Party was planning to propose a controversial bill centered around the Republic recognizing titles of Nobility from centuries past. The bill was highly controversial and was immediately denounced by President Vargan the leader of the Cirosian Nationalist Front however it was this bill that proved to be the catalyst that would expose the deep cracks within the Cirosian Nationalist Front and lead to its fracturing.
President of the Cirosian Republic Vargan acting quickly and announced that the members that had planned such a bill within his party were to be immediately removed from his party and coalition, however this action failed to quell growing public, political and internal outcry about the occurrence.
The situation worsened when Arwain Marsh a prominent member of the C.N.F. announced that not only would he be leaving the party but that he would be forming his Political Party called the Cirosian Nationalist Party [C.N.P.] not only was Marsh leaving but we was taking his wing of the party with him which was 17 Seats and forming what he claims is a more Moderate Political Party returning to the original uncorrupted ideals of the C.N.F.
His departure caused a ripple effect within the Cirosian Nationalist Front as many within the Party blamed President Vargan for the crisis and criticized his leadership while stating that his policies were too moderate and were not in line with the party's vision, these accusations led to Vargan cleaning house and removing many Senators from the coalitions who shared more Right-Leaning views as himself.
This led to the formation of the Revolutionary Ultranationalist League as well as the Ciros Advance Party of which all claim to be the legitimate successor of the Cirosian Nationalist Front, meanwhile the Cirosian Nationalist Front while bruised and beaten is still a major political force with 35 Seats... a shadow of its once powerful self.
Summarized Results
* Bill 2215/2 -The Federalization Act failed as it was a referendum bill that was not endorsed by the Speaker of the Senate as such it required a 2/3 majority not a simple 1/2 majority.
The Federalization Act
Proposed By The United Front
BILL FAILED DUE TO LACKING 2/3 VOTE REQUIRED FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
BILL 2215/2 OF THE CIROISAN SENATE
of 12 February 2215
On the Definition of the Regional Governments of Ciros and their Authority.
THE CIROSIAN SENATE,
Having regard to the Basic Law of the Cirosian Republic,
Acting in accordance with the senatorial legislative procedure,
HAS ADOPTED THIS LAW:
Article 1
Objectives
This Law sets out to define the Regional Governments within the Republic of Ciros and their role within the Government Structure of Ciros. It shall contain provisions for the Five States of Ciros, as well as provisions for the establishment of local governments on Planets not yet controlled by the Cirosian Republic, given the fact that Hyperlane Technology has opened the doors to new possibilities in the realm of space colonization.
.
Article 2
States of Ciros
The Planet of Ciros shall be the designated capital planet of the Cirosian Republic. As the Capital Planet, there shall exist 5 State Governments under the Federal Government of the Cirosian Republic - Evrat, Mearia, Ashar, Perinia, and Istirya.
Each States’ Government shall hold elections concurrent with the Federal Election cycle for the State Government. This shall include elections for a State Governor and State Senate, with one State Senator for every 75,000 people in the State. State Senate Elections will function just as the Federal Senate Elections do on a local level, while the process for selecting State Governors shall
The remaining governmental structure shall be left up to the State to decide, including but not limited to the dividing into further subdivisions known as Districts, the creation of elected positions in local government, or the creation of local state organizations.
The City of Astoria holds a special status as the Capital City Zone (CCZ). The CCZ is ruled by the local Astoria City Council, elected by the people via ranked choice party ballot voting, while the Mayor of Astoria is appointed directly by the President of the Cirosian Republic and confirmed by a vote in the Astoria City Council.
In gameplay terms, State Government titles are mostly RP titles given out to coalitions based on what percentage of the vote they received.
One governorship = 20% of the popular vote with 5 governorships, so coalitions will be given 1 governorship per 20% of the vote.
Which coalition receives which State Governorship will be based off of the electoral map released alongside the election results. Whichever coalition receives the plurality if not majority of the districts in the State will get to pick a player to serve as Governor of the State.
In the likely event that one or more governorship remains unclaimed after an election, coalitions will have until the next gameplay session to get endorsements for their coalition by parties not within their coalition or from other coalitions who drop out of the race. Whichever Coalition has the highest percentage of the remaining vote after subtracting the 20% per governorship they already won, plus the percentages of the vote from other parties and coalitions they received endorsements from, wins the “runoff election” for the final remaining governorship.
State Governments shall have the power to raise local non-professional militias in the State known as National Guards to keep the peace in their State, to pass their own legislation so long as it does not conflict with Federal Law, as well as the task of administering local government services such as Education and Healthcare. They may raise taxes and tariffs on goods to fund their local administration.
Article 3
Planetary Governorships
With the development of Hyperdrive Technology, it is now very possible that in the near future habitable planets allowing human settlement will be discovered. It is therefore required that we lay the groundwork for undertaking the task of colonizing an alien world on an administrative level.
In the event that a world is surveyed and deemed at least 80% habitable for human life, it becomes the target of a government colonization effort. The state shall, no later than two (2) years after the surveying of the planet, gather the funds to build a colony ship and begin the process of settling the planet. The government shall use this two year period to not only procure funding, but to ensure Cirosian control of the star system with a Station and preferably the development of research and mining facilities in the system. The colonization process is to be done in accordance with Law 2205/2 of the Cirosian Senate.
The way in which Planetary Governorships are awarded remains unchanged from the Cirosian Constitution.
Planetary Governorships shall have the same powers of internal policing, administration of services, and local administration as the State Governments of Ciros, as outlined in Article 2, Section 1b and Section 1e.
Citizens of any Colony of Ciros are to be considered full citizens of the Cirosian Republic. Citizens of any Colony of Ciros shall be given all rights afforded to Citizens of the Planet of Ciros, including the right to vote in Local and Federal Elections. Upon the founding of a new Colony of the Cirosian Republic, the size of the Cirosian Senate shall be increased by 100 seats.
Article 4
Entry into force and application
Be it enacted, this Law shall enter into force on the 14th day after its passage in the Senate, in all holdings and territories of the Cirosian Republic.
Proposed by United Front
Written by Samson St. Claire and Colleagues
Summary of In Game Changes that are proposed via this Law.
Would see 100 seats added to the Senate with each new colony.
Change our Military Policy to National Guard.
Would see the establishment of RP titles in governorships.
Cirosian Republic's Reaffirment Against Noble Titles and Monarchism
Proposed By The United Center
BILL PASSED
The recent bill drafted by former members of the Cirosian National Front and their alliance the Cirosian Freedom Alliance have led to great concern within our Republic. As such this bill does nothing other than reaffirm our Republic's commitment against Noble Titles being recognized and reaffirms our opposition towards Monarchism.
The Astorian Housing Act
Proposed By The United Center
BILL PASSED
Within Astoria there are still two massive slums where our people suffer from low incomes, infrastructure and services. It is an obvious failing of the Republic and it's government and must be solved immediately.
Large scale low-cost housing developments must be funded and built within the slums as must services ranging from Healthcare, Education and Law Enforcement.
We currently have 2,400 energy credits with an annual surplus of 288 as well as 1,200 Minerals with an annual surplus of 240.
This combined cost will be 2,000 Energy Credits 500 Minerals The slums will take an estimated 900 days to finish.
The first slum shall start modernization immediately with the second starting progress in 2.5 years and finished in the year 2220.
Over the course of the five years that this project will entail we will produce 1,440 energy and 1,200 Minerals at current rates. In the event of a recession or major crisis the bill will be halted.
TL;DR
Clear the 2 slum blockers
Cirosian Modernisation Act of 2215
Proposed By The Cirosian Freedom Alliance
BILL PASSED
BE IT ENACTED by the authority of the Cirosian Republic, with the guidance and consent of the Senate assembled, in the name of the people and the preservation of the Republic, that the following provisions be established for the security, prosperity, and unity of our nation and its citizens: -
Modernisation
The Modernisation and development of Urban Areas, with the construction of 1 City District. With all buildings up to more updated codes, as well as to house newly born Cirosians as well as those out of the slums.
The Modernisation of Amoritan based Research Facilities to the more updated Research Labs, with major subsidies and funding to the development of such facilities.
After the construction of the aforementioned Urban Areas, greater investment into Research in these areas especially is to occur to further improve Ciros technological development. As such, after all other parts of this bill are complete, Research Labs are to be built.
To further develop Research and our engineering, Research Stations are to be built in planets we currently own as a priority.
Expanded Mining
Due to the anticipated large increase in the Cirosian Population within the next decade, in order to further create jobs, as well to further bolster our smaller mineral production in order to prepare Ciros.
1 Mining District is to be built, which should increase the mineral surplus by ~50%
Resources
This will in total require a hefty amount of minerals, some 1800 Minerals, however with the current timeframe of each projects completion, the bills should see completion in a relatively swift timeframe, even with the some 600 Minerals expense from other bills, as we should produce some 1200 Minerals in a period of five years.
This will in our current budget decrease our EC surplus by some 25% however, other bills such as the Budgetary Act, should not only counteract but boost our budget however.
Mechanical Effects
Build 1 Mining District, first thing that should be built (all other buildings wait for the removal of blockers)
If not legislated already, construct Research Stations on the remainder of our worlds that we can.
Replace the Research Facilities with Research Labs
Build 1 City District
Remove Alloy Sales
Prioritise a farmer job when the “12 Months of Stockpiled Food remaining” alert occurs.
Cirosian Defense Act of 2215
Written By The Cirosian Freedom Alliance
BILL PASSED
BE IT ENACTED by the authority of the Cirosian Republic, with the guidance and consent of the Senate assembled, in the name of the people and the preservation of the Republic, that the following provisions be established for the security, prosperity, and unity of our nation and its citizens: -
Armed Forces Expansion
- The Training and Development of a single Assault Army for the defence of Ciros. This will cost some 100 Minerals yet will greatly improve the defences of Ciros.
- Several Military Bases, training grounds and air-bases are to be established across Ciros to accompany the expansion of the military.
- This will have a monthly cost of 1 EC
- These forces are furthermore to be trained in modern ways of warfare, including as potential marines for space based combat and all that entails.
Sirus System Defence
- In order to bolster space based defences, a series of weapon turrets are to be constructed, or a Gun Battery. This is expected to cost some 50 Alloys upfront and 1 EC per month, however will greatly strengthen the resilience of the Starbase and its capabilities to defend Ciros.
- This bill calls for serious consideration and work to the development of a series of Defence Platforms, or other such Space Based Military Installations with the express goal of defence from a foreign threat. However, such Platforms are not apart of this bill.
Military Research
- In order to further develop the defences of Ciros, this bill further calls for funding into private and public military research companies and groups.
- In addition, the Ministry of Technology will be required to pick a technology focusing on Ciros and either its expansion into Space, or Defence from at least one of the next research categories.
- The following categories of technology are considered to be for Ciros and its Expansion or Defence: Computers , Particles, Military Theory, Materials , Propulsion , Voidcraft , along with specifically Shields from Field Manipulation.
Mechanical Effects
- Build 1 Gun Battery on Sirus Station
- Build 1 Assault Army and Station it on Ciros
- The Minister of Technology needs to pick a technology in any of the areas mentioned in 3.3 as the next Research for at least one of the next techs.
The Employees' Rights and Paid Leave Act
PROPOSED BY THE UNITED FRONT
BILL PASSED
This bill aims to ensure more equal workers rights and securing paid sick leave and paid vacation.
TLDR:
Remove at-will employment. Give 2 days of undocumented sick leave and 5 extra days of documented leave. Make it so workers earn 2,08 days of paid vacation per month totaling 5 weeks in a year, this part of the bill will be introduced over a period of 15 years.
In-game effects - None, RP bill.
As it currently stands in Ciros, all employment is at-will and therefore employers can terminate their workers without any given reason or warning. This is not fair for the workers as their entire livelihood can disappear in an instant without warning and therefore needs to be changed. This bill is spilt into two sections.
All terminations of employment need to occur with just cause.
If a termination of a worker is to occur, then it has to be for a documented good reason. The just causes are listed below:
Frequent undocumented absence from work.
Frequent is defined as more than one day of absence per month.
Crimes committed by the employee at the workplace or against the workplace.
Stealing, harassment, physical violence. If a police report is filed and the perpetrator found guilty, the employment will end immediately. If the given employee was given a warning period before the termination, then the pay deposited in that period is returned to the employer.
Economic reasons.
If asked, the employee must be able to produce the economic condition of at least the last month. If taken to court, a member of the economic ministry is tasked to analyze the case and judge if the termination was lawful. This is done to ensure an impartial and fair ruling.
Repeated breaking of workplace rules.
The employer is required to give at least one documented, either verbal or written warning, before just cause is granted.
Subpar performance.
Like in the case of the repeated breaking of workplace rules, warning is to be given. Documentation of the employee failing to complete their tasks sufficiently must also be included.
Long term illness*
If an employee has been absent for more than two weeks per month due to sick leave, a discussion on the reason for the frequent leave must be held between employee and the employer. In case of no real medical emergency, the employer will gain access to just cause.
This will be discussed further in the part of the bill detailing sick leave.
If a worker deems that they have been terminated without just cause, they may sue the employer for wrongful termination. In case of victory, the employee may be awarded in lost wages and the employer is made to pay eventual legal costs.
*pregnancy is not a long term illness.
If an employee has worked for a given company for 6 months or more, at minimum one month of warning must be given before termination of employment.
Further details may be discussed in the employees contract, but as a minimum an employee who has worked for a given 6 months at a company, must receive a warning a month before their termination of employment.
As it stands in Ciros, not all who are employed are granted paid days of sick leave. It is simply unreasonable that somebody should be forced to enter a workspace and risk infecting others, just because they need to make enough money to afford to live.
All employees are to be granted 3 days of undocumented paid sick leave per month and 5 days of documentation.
Starting the first complete month after employment, an employee is allowed to have 3 days of paid sick leave with no need to provide documentation per month. Furthermore, given that a doctor signs a slip of sickness, the employee is granted a further 5 days of paid sick leave.
If an employee has used all of their days of sick leave and still are absent from work, it is to be treated as undocumented absence from work and therefore a just cause for termination.
In the case of terminal illness preventing the employee from working, the employee may contact the government to get granted financial aid. This request will only be met after a council of 2 social workers and 2 doctors agree that the employee is unfit for work.
All employees must have a right to at least 5 weeks of paid vacation per year. As it stands workers have no rights to any paid vacation, meaning that if a workers financial situation is dire enough, they may never have the ability to actually hold vacation and relax. This is not a fair treatment of our workers and needs to be changed.
All employees are to be granted 5 weeks of paid vacation per year.
For every month of full time work a worker completes, they get 2,08 days of paid vacation. If an employee then works an entire year they are hereby eligible for 5 weeks of paid vacation.
If an employee is to leave their workplace, they are still entitled to the remaining money, equivalent to the days of paid vacation they have left.
At the start of a new work year (1. september), all paid vacation from the previous work year is removed.
Implementation of this part of the bill:
As this part of the bill may impact a lot of businesses quite dramatically it will be implemented over a period of 15 years. This will be done by slowly phasing in the longer paid vacation leave.
The starting point will be 2 weeks of paid vacation per year, equal to 1,16 days of paid vacation per full month of employment.
The coming start of a new work year, will then increase the amount of days of paid vacation earned by a full month of employment by 0,06.
This is done at every start of a new work year until the worker will earn 2,08 days of paid vacation per month of full time work, equal to 5 weeks vacation. This process will take place over roughly 15 years after the bill's implementation.
The Company Registry Act
Proposed By The United Front
BILL PASSED
THE CIROSIAN SENATE,
Having regard to the Basic Law of the Cirosian Republic,
Acting in accordance with the senatorial legislative procedure,
HAS ADOPTED THIS LAW:
Article 1
Objectives
This Law sets out to create a Registry of businesses within the Cirosian Republic. The purpose of this registry would be to give the Cirosian Government, particularly the Ministry of Economics, important information on the various corporations of the Cirosian Republic, and set up several ways to categorize them for the purposes of economic data gathering.
Article 2
The Cirosian Business Bureau
The Cirosian Business Bureau (CBB) would be established under the Ministry of Economic Development, with the head of the CBB being the Minister of Economic Development. The CBB shall be imbued with the following authority and responsibilities.
The CBB will be responsible for maintaining a list of businesses operating within the Cirosian Republic, known as the Corporate Registry, or simply “The Registry.” Every Corporation on Ciros would be required to Register with the CBB, giving basic information on their company. Companies will be given six (6) months upon the passage of this Bill into Law to register with the CBB, and face a fine of 500 Cirosian Dollars per day they fail to register past the deadline.
The CBB will collect and catalog the following information on corporate entities within the Cirosian Republic.
Business Type - Businesses will be classified as locally owned, worker’s cooperative, private corporation, or public corporation. In the case of a public corporation, the identity of major shareholders must be disclosed, and in the case of a private corporation, the owner of the corporation must be disclosed.
Field of Industry - A full list of possible industries shall be maintained and updated by the Minister of Economics, and shall include but not be limited to; Agriculture, Mining, Power Generation, Healthcare, Manufacturing (Consumer Goods, Weapons and Defense, Spacecraft Production, etc.), and Academic Work.
Approximate Annual Revenue - Companies will only be expected to provide average revenue reports over a ten year period. When companies first Register, they may either submit their Annual Revenue for the previous fiscal year or an average of their yearly revenues for a period of the last 3, 5, or 10 years. It must be disclosed which data point is being reported. After this, the Company may choose to update their Revenue Report yearly, or every 5-10 years based on an average yearly revenue.
In gameplay terms, this list would serve as a continually updating “ranking” of the corporations of Ciros - both player corporations and NPC corporations created to flesh out the world of Ciros.
Players will submit information about their corporations, with small buffs and debuffs being applied based on how the corporation has been utilized in roleplay at the discretion of the Game Host doing the initial dice rolls, likely the CBSE. Players with companies with established RP prior to the Election of 2200 will get 2d100 for the starting yearly revenue of their business. New companies, including companies established over the course of RP such as the Vargan Industries Subsidiaries will be given 1d100 for their starting yearly revenue. Buffs and debuffs for the initial revenue will be based off of the 5-Year Economic Reports published by the CBSE (i.e. our Manufacturing Sector has seen a huge recovery in the aftermath of the Recession - so Manufacturing Companies would receive a buff of +5-10 on their d100 roll.)
Every 10 years, concurring with Elections, the incoming Minister of Economic Development will do dice rolls to see the changes in each corporation. 1d3, with 1 being a loss, 2 being stagnation, and 3 being growth. In the case of 1 or 3, there will be a roll of a d20. In the case of a 2, there will be a roll of a d10. If any company has been involved with an IAAR event or a major RP scandal, they may be given appropriate buffs or debuffs at the discretion of the Minister of Economic Development.
The initial d100 roll will represent a company’s revenue in Millions of Cirosian Dollars per year. The d3 roll shall be to decide how a company has performed over the past 10 years. If there has been significant loss or growth, or in other words if a 1 or 3 is rolled, then a d20 is rolled to represent a growth or reduction in that many Millions of Cirosian Dollars per year. If a 2 is rolled for stagnation, one d10 is rolled, with 5 being no change in profits, 0-4 representing a loss in up to 5 million Dollars per year, and 6-10 representing a gain of up to 5 million Dollars per year.
Example: Samson Soc-Corp was established before the 2200 Election, giving us a starting revenue of 2d100.
This puts our starting revenue at 166 Million Cirosian Dollars per Year by 2215, the year of this Act’s passage. When the new Minister of Economics is elected, new rolls are done for an increase or decrease in profits.
A roll of 2 means stagnation, requiring a roll of 1d10.
A roll of 1 sees a slight loss for Samson Soc-Corp over the period, with -4 Million Cirosian Dollars lost yearly - for an end revenue of 162 Million Cirosian Dollars annually.
Article 3
Entry into force and application
Be it enacted, this Law shall enter into force on the 14th day after its passage in the Senate, in all holdings and territories of the Cirosian Republic.
Proposed by United Front
Written by Samson St. Claire and Colleagues
Summary of In Game Changes that are proposed via this Law.
Would see the creation of an official government document listing the Corporations of Ciros. Hosts would make up several important corporations not owned by players to flesh out the world and give more RP context. It would also serve as an official “ranking” of the player-led corporations, like the Cirosian Football League it gives players an opportunity for friendly competition.
Industrial Renewal Plan:
Proposed By The Anti-Corruption League
Bill Failed
The industrial infrastructure we have is still those left over from the colonial days. This is horrendously outdated and stifles our productivity and our economy. If we do not provide the funds to adequately revitalise this then our economy threatens to reach a point where such poor infrastructure will cap our growth. By revitalising it we create jobs in the short term for people and long term allow companies to grow more securly allowing for more jobs to flourish and for our consumer goods industry to continue to develop along with our hard alloy industry. Both are vital to our economy and future space exploration missions.
TLDR:
Get rid of the Outdated Colonial Perinian Industrial Zone
National Economic Plan 2216
Proposed By The the National Economic Board of the Ministry of Economic Development
BILL FAILED
Astorian Housing Act
Secretary for Energy (John Miller Doe)
Currently leaves no room for other Economic Bills to construct anything
I propose that only one out of the two blockers be removed within the next 5 years.
Cirosian Modernisation Act of 2215
Secretary for Energy (John Miller Doe)
I propose that we expand our Energy Industries once again instead of the Mining Industry (1 Mining District -> 1 Generator District)
I propose that we keep selling the portion of our Alloy production that we already are in exchange for more funds, considering that we already have stockpiled more Alloys than we’ll ever use in the foreseeable future and produce more than enough.
Similarly to the Astorian Housing Act, the schedule within this proposal leaves no room for the construction of anything else
I propose that the last plan of the proposal, namely the building of additional Research Labs be removed.
I propose that all of the construction planned per the proposal be only started once a portion of the Slums (as per the Astorian Housing Act) has been removed.
Minister of Economic Development (Walter Ward)
By involving private corporations in the housing project, we could potentially offload a portion of the costs. Saving up to 25%, while also generating modest long-term revenue for the government by leasing 15% of the units for commercial purposes.
(Switch to Commercialized Housing policy before building the housing district)
Aide to the Secretary of Industry (Jefferson Castillo)
Involve private corporations in the housing project to reduce costs, create small business places to encourage local growth, and spend the saved money on other projects.
Switch to Commercialized Housing policy before building the housing district
Jefferson Steelworks will provide steel for housing at cost to decrease cost of construction
On top of the mineral district, it may be beneficial to build a Industrial District to supercharge the CG economy in order to support additional research labs
If another Industrial District is added to the proposal, I would also recommend adding another research lab to the proposed construction queue. For a total of 2.
Cirosian Budgetary Act of 2215
Secretary for Energy (John Miller Doe)
While temporarily privatizing our Public Healthcare System would enable the State to raise more funds for other projects, due to the length of said Projects I believe that the required funds could be raised even without defunding Healthcare.
Whilst I am a huge proponent of purchasing our Minerals in exchange for Energy, I’d wait with this until we’ve managed to get more people working within our Energy Industries (4/6 -> 6/6)
Aide to the Secretary of Industry (Jefferson Castillo)
Rather than 15 years, it may be better to reduce it to 10 years, still giving a large surplus of EC and CG to be utilized in other projects, but will make it more palatable with the moderates and the left
It may even be better to go down to 7-8 years, to further frame it as a truly temporary situation
Mineral purchasing is fine, but only if the healthcare is reduced. Mineral purchases may be worth increasing up to 15 if we wish to stockpile some excess for later projects
Cirosian Defence Act of 2215
Secretary for Energy (John Miller Doe)
Aide to Secretary of Industry (Jefferson Castillo)
Do not build a Gun Battery, instead either build a shipyard or nothing.
The case for building a shipyard is to allow simultaneous production of multiple ships simultaneously, greatly expanding the Republic’s ability to create defensive, offensive, civil, or scientific ships as needed.
The case for building nothing is to save on alloys and energy, both of which can be used for the next section
Design, Develop, and Deploy a single defensive station in the orbit of the station.
The Employees Rights and Paid Leave Act
Secretary for Energy (John Miller Doe)
Minister of Economic Development (Walter Ward)
Immediately granting 5 weeks of paid vacation could prove challenging for a lot of companies. I would suggest lowering this amount to 3 weeks or start at 2 weeks and gradually increase it over the span of 20 years.
The High-Tech Development Initiative:
Aide to Secretary of Industry (Jefferson Castillo)
With the discovery of the Hyperlanes, it is imperative that the high-tech industry within the Republic be pushed to a height never before seen, to that end I recommend the following courses of action.
The subsidizing of start-ups and existing companies that are heavily or exclusively involved in the following areas:
Microchips: Either their development or creation
AI: creating, development, or research of AI technologies
Robotics: creating, developing, manufacturing, or maintenance
Supercomputers: creation, development, maintenance
A small tax incentive should also be created to encourage risk taking while ensuring financial stability, allowing for greater progress in these sectors in a shorter period of time.
A government-company partnership program should be created to allow the training and hiring of those without qualifications directly into the high-tech industry for a cheap personal cost.
This can be paid for either with our current reserves and income, or a small 1.5% to 2% tax could be levied on a select number of luxury consumer products to fund this program.
The program’s goal is to provide a discounted education in the necessary fields required to join the high-tech industry as a certified member
The government will work together with various established companies within the selected fields to determine the requirements needed to be hired by them, providing the students with an up to date curriculum.
Recommendation Summary
Secretary of Energy’s (John Miller Doe) Proposals
1 Generator District, instead of 1 Mining District as laid out in the Cirosian Modernisation Act of 2215
Do not switch to Commercialized Housing Policy
Minister of Economic Development’s (Walter Ward) Proposals
Switch to Commercialized Housing Policy
Aide to Secretary of Industry’s (Jefferson Castillo) Proposals
Unanimous Proposals
Only remove 1 out of the 2 Slum Blockers as laid out in the Astorian Housing Act
Only start buying minerals once every Electrician Job has been filled as laid out in the Cirosian Modernisation Act of 2215
Keep Nationalized Healthcare
Keep selling the amount of alloy that we’re already selling within Monthly Trades
Reconcile the Schedules within the Astorian Housing Act and the Cirosian Modernisation Act of 2215 (1 Slum Blocker -> Every Construction within the Cirosian Modernisation Act of 2215 that there is still time for)
Changes to the RP within The Employees Rights and Paid Leave Act
RP Proposal by Jefferson Castillo (The High-Tech Development Initiative)
OOC RP effects
Incentives for High-Tech Industries and education
Rural, Natural, and Historic Preservation Act
Proposed By The United Center
BILL FAILED
Preamble
While a large portion of our budget went to rehousing resident’s of the Astoran Favela, the displacement of peoples was impossible to avoid; especially those never properly documented. As such, regardless of documentation status, we are offering those displaced an opportunity to work in Leyton. This scheme includes finding willing farmers, offering aid to these downtrodden souls, and getting a proper record of the farmers that will soon be the backbone of our prospering society.
Present studies show that the average sized farm can feed one to two-hundred people, with modern technology and proper subsidization -- thus the slogan we’ve adopted to speak on this bill, ‘1 Farmer Feeds 100 People.’ We don’t want to just send migrant farmers to random plots of land to seasonal positions, we want to build up existing small businesses and establish new agricultural industries as
While taking advantage of this benefit we must also set ourselves about preserving the rural landscape and the natural beauty of our planet in the historic sites. For that reason this law will ensure that we have solid growth and development in the rural countryside but also preservation of ways of life and the ways of the past and nature.
OOC In Game Effects TLDR:
Immediate sale of 250 food
Immediate purchase of 25 Consumer goods
When available build an agriculture district within the next 5 years
(economic minister decides when)
If Hydroponics Farming is available as a society research it must be researched
A cultural monument must be created in the next 20 years on the capitol
OOC In RP Effects TLDR:
Creation of 3 sub departments under the Minister of Economic Development with leaders of each department becoming an open appointed position from the Economic Minister. Those departments are the following with their respective leaders:
Rural Development Department, Led by a Secretary of Rural Development.
Planetary Park Service, Led by a Director of the Park Service.
Directory of History, Led by a Secretary of National History
The Departments will do the following in RP:
Rural Development Department-
Planetary Park Service-
Directory of History-

Peacetime Armed Forces Social Services Act
Proposed By The Anti-Corruption League
BILL FAILED
In game effects:
A boost to construction during peacetime would be nice but I understand that that could be difficult to set up so probably none.
Motivation for the Motion:
Our armed forces serve an important role in the national defense of our nation, however during times when this defense is not actively required the soldiers pledged to serve our republic could be assigned to projects to help build up and revitalize our nation. This will increase the relation between the common citizen and the armed forces and serve as an economic boost to our nation during times of peace.
Points of the resolution;
When the Cirosion nation is not involved in any armed conflict or standoff *1 the Cirosian army may be assigned to assist in state assignments projects by the ministry of defense in the sectors of infrastructure, construction*2, and disaster relief.
Soldiers assigned to civilian projects may only be assigned to this project for a maximum total period of 4 months*3 per year, during which they shall require a regular schedule of military training to ensure combat readiness and preparedness.
