Guram Expedition Bill Written
by Dr. Crichton Li (TEF)
The planet of Guram III provides an interesting case for Theian scientists. Several rare phenomenons such as floating continents prove that we do not fully grasp the secrets of the universe yet. Because Guram III is also a possible candidate for colonization, the TEF therefore proposes to send an expedition of scientists to the surface to lead a survey of the planet. Once the Guram-system is safely within our borders, they will be tasked with fully exploring the planet's surface and uncovering the secrets the planet's ecosystem might hold. This will help future colonization efforts and maybe also lead to discoveries that may benefit our technological advancements. In-game effects: as soon as the Guram-system is in our borders, start excavating the archaeological dig site there.

Theian Economic Restructuring and Reorganization Act (TERRA)
Written by the RL
“The Senate cycle of 2200-2210 rushed into certain bills and economic measures without considering the greater impact of their decisions. Short term political gains were emphasized over the will of the people and governmental sustainability. The Theian Welfare Agency (TWA), although providing a critical service to many citizens, has been improperly managed and free from Senate oversight. Gross misspending and constant deficits call into question the reliability of the organization. Therefore, the RL, along with its coalition members, proposes a complete reorganization and restructuring of the government mandated economic model. This act would rollback many of the guidelines, regulations, and social policies enacted under the previous government in order to allow for the new government to address these issues at a time it determines is appropriate. These bills include the “Great Society Act” and ”Welfare Finalization Act.” The passage of this bill dictates that the Senate session of 2240 will address the suspended bills and their conditions if not done so before it. In order not to affect people who live on welfare, the Senate will directly apportion funds in its budget for primary distribution to existing assistance-infrastructure channels. ” In-game effects: -Go back to Decent Conditions living conditions -Use Distribute Luxury Goods on Theia once to model direct welfare spending instead of a monthly upkeep

The Military measures of 2210
Writen by the EUL
The republic after making contact with xenos down in the southern quadrants we have been told not to interfere with them by their leader blorp. Trust with these aliens are still at neutral terms so far so knowing if they will not interfere with our expansion in space is unknown. The initial scans entail that this galactic nation has a larger number of fleets than we do, but the accurate amount is unknown by government records. There are those in the senate who state we should not worry for they detest violence, but who say that such views will continue on for another 300 years. This amount of time can change a nation politically and the republic must stand at the ready to defend itself. The EUL proclaims that by 2220 that the republican fleet increases the number of ships it owns to 20 corvettes in total as we have the industry to afford such ships and can defend the republic incase their are other xeno nations in the galaxy stronger than the pobelin and are very clear on hostilities against our people. We know other life is out in the galaxy and not all nations can be friends so we must prepare for the day when enemies of the republic expand towards our borders. We also make sure though that during the construction of these ships that colonist ships have a priority always for the colonial worlds that way our people can still settle on new planets. (the republic must have a number of 20 corvettes total before the 2220 Election as military deterrent against possible hostile xenos.)
