Spain or Bust

Taxation or Annihilation

New Government
Naturally, the first thing for the newfound leaders of the rebellion to do was sit down and create a lasting system that would give the country more prosperity than oppression.

They settled on having each town elect a representative for the government, and from there, the group of representatives would would create laws based on their own towns. -
Representation Manipulation
Laws were passed to ease up taxations and create an overall better life for citizens.

Specialized Group

So, in 1905 an election for 7 specialized members who is responsible for different aspects of the government took place. They then would propose laws from their section. Only the people voting could pass the law. If they are unhappy wth a law, they will all have the right to vote its repeal. Every day things like court cases and speed limits they will all vote on as well. -
Public Planning Act
Citizens were still uneasy about having a council. They were afraid that their meetings would be a chance to plan out their rule over the people instead of laws. Larry Stylinson proposed to have the council meetings public, and have them more frequently. They all agreed to have their meetings where everyday citizens could see the way their country is run. -
Realistic Law Act
In order to keep the incoming proposed law legit, a man name Paul Higgins suggested that each law coming in that want to be ratified must have at least 500 signatures. They took it to the people to vote, and when some of the citizens weren't happy at the high number, they went with a happy medium of 300. Each law sent in by request must have 300 signatures before it could be ready to be chosen for consideration to finalize. -
Neutrality Act of 1914
After WWI broke out around the world, Munolic had gotten various offers and treaties from their neighboring countries to form an alliance. Lou Teasdale, The Foreign Affairs & Military specialist, was very wary of these offers. She quickly took to the people one why they should not join the war and stay neutral. "War is not a prize, even if it is won. No matter who we pledge alliance, consequences for generations to come could be severe." The Neutrality Act of 1914 was passed.
