Title: New Alexandrian Financial and Economic Law
Description: by Monsieur Jaime Martin Preusche Morad


Jacques de Beaufort - September 18, 2005 04:20 AM (GMT)
Emperor and citizens of Alexandria,

As I told you before I have written a new economic law, which I hope will help improve the economy in the Empire.
So all I ask of you is that you read it and say what you think about it.
I am really interested in knowing what you think of my work.
I have taken the two previously existing economic laws and have put them toghether while making some changes and adding some things.
If this law is approved it will make, I believe, the economy in Alexandria boom like never before.
Hope you like it.
Sincerely,

Monsieur Jaime Martin Preusche Morad
Minister of Finance & Economics of Alexandria

Russell duBois - September 19, 2005 08:40 AM (GMT)
This is signed by His Majesty? What is the status of this bill?

HIH Prince Enrique Portela - September 19, 2005 11:20 AM (GMT)
This is good. I personally like it, Mssr. Morad :D . Prime Minister DuBois, every bill is signed by his Imperial Majesty after it is ratified by the Estates-General.

Respectfully,

Emperor Edgard II - September 19, 2005 12:40 PM (GMT)
Might I point out that the National Transportation Act released a billion relaes into circulation to pay for the projects that were proposed and passed? ;)

We can amend that act to release only what is needed.

I haven't given my Imperial Assent to it though, PM DuBois.

Jacques de Beaufort - September 19, 2005 04:01 PM (GMT)
This bill is not signed yet, i just left the pointed line there to be signed; the day it is ratified by the emperor we will remove that line....hehehe
Sorry for any inconvenience i might have caused. ^_^
I have talked to the Emperor and the sums in the transportation act will be changed according to the size of our economy. And as soon as this law is passed the we will create a subforum for each agency, and we will transfer the bank into the Ministry of Finance & Economics.
Also we will adjust the sums in each bank account to fit the new law.

Sincerely,

Jean Michel Leclerc - September 20, 2005 09:35 AM (GMT)
I like this bill and each and every one of you!

Emperor Edgard II - September 20, 2005 11:52 AM (GMT)
Awwww thank you, Monsieur Leclerc!!! hahahaha :)

HIH Prince Enrique Portela - September 20, 2005 07:00 PM (GMT)

Jean Michel Leclerc - September 21, 2005 09:18 AM (GMT)
But seriously this is solid. I am glad it provides for a full-time minister to be in charge of it all. Yes!

HIH Prince Enrique Portela - September 21, 2005 11:15 AM (GMT)

Is this amendment welcome by the drafter of the act, then?

Amending an act needs Estates-General approval.
