Mandatory Military Bill

On May 27th 2021 a Bill was produced to the Long Palace legislator of which suggested Mandatory Army Enrolment for those above the age of 18 within the Realm. Those taking part were all Government representatives, excluding the Emperor, which at this time was a total of 16 participants: 11 Directors, 1 Alderman & 4 Marquis.

Newly appointed Director for Labour on Bear Island & Party Chief of the Mutualist Ouroboros Party, Aleksou Maximus Desourrë, who previously served as President of Easway from 2017 to 2020 suggested the bill, with his opening argument:"'My dear colleagues and friends, I would like to raise our Empire's defence readiness to maximum by introducing a mandatory 1 year army enrolment . I know the feeling  of losing one year of your life but at the end of it YOU TOO will be a invincible obstacle against people who will hurt and destroy your family and friends. This new addition to our state law will not only increase our readiness by 400% ( according to our experts ) but also help the empire economy by patriotic army work ( paid of course, we're not communists) but also give focus to young men and have a massive force ready against any natural disaster.... Long live our Empire in God's name and in the name of our forgotten fallen Heroes!'"Through debate in the Long Palace Forum, the following exceptions of army enrolment were decided:

- Those expecting higher education

- Those already serving in the government

- Those with a disability which prevents military service

The Results
The Results of the bill were starkly one way or the other, with the bill passing with a majority of 9 to 4, through cross party support including most of the Homofascist Party voting for the bill. No one abstained to this bill.
