OOC: Okay slow down on the bills, we kinda need a speaker present. But, on the issue of "slavery" I don't have slavery. I have a system based around indentured servitude much like how your economic system is built around building weapons, Caos. I'm agricultural you are industrial. We need to respect a state's culture. But, anyways, if you read my laws Caos you would know they are mearly addressed as slaves not that they are actually of so. Slavery is when one is forced into the position, they are forced to work for free. Indentured servitude is when contracts are signed, and when the contract is fulfilled then the servants or "slaves" are given compensation whether it is land, money, you name it.
"I think you should look into the specifics of our states. Yes slavery in itself should be abolished, but servitude should not be. You wish to dismantle the Colombian and Spartan economy."

"As the Representative from Gondor says, this bill is a strict violation of the constitution by forcing states to create railways, airports, and roadways. That is our job, not the federal governments. We in Columbia have our ways of trading and that is to build railways between states we trade with, on our own terms, and by using our many ports. Forcing us to create certain things interacts with our culture, forces us in one direction."
