I support cause, but they have a good point. Forcing people to do this seems going a bit far. If we remove the mandate in the law that people must do one of those then the bill becomes nothing more than a suggestion. I propose we voluntarily follow AndyGriffith's proposal, but not force it on anyone.

[CatoMinor]

Adam, do you accept these changes?

[CatoMinor]

Vote time

------

Aye

[CatoMinor]

British Dixie has been banned so we have a vacant seat in the legislature. PiT, you know the drill

[CatoMinor]

The bill passes 3-1 and awaits the signature or veto of Emperor PiT

[CatoMinor]

I am now bringing this up as one large omnibus bill.

Well if no one has anything to add, we can bring it to a vote later.

[CatoMinor]

I'd rather that flag be the Emperor's Standard. Don't want citizens to buy a new flag every time we get a new one.

they won't have to necessarily. Emperors can be in the same Imperial House. which is why the flag has the IHoJ coat of arms even though PiT is Emperor.

[CatoMinor]

If someone would like to be in charge of editing the flag as we make suggestions that would be nice

@PiT how about "Capere aquilonem" instead of Seize the day, it becomes "seize the north!"

[CatoMinor]

Duke, to address part of that you said about the kingdoms part, I put it like that becuase of the very thing you complain about. Why do something half ass? We made the region an Empire, and the governor and elected Emperor, so why should the states remain just states? If we are to take it further then the logical thing to do would be to have the the states become kingdoms, all under one glorious southern Imperial Dominion.

As for the flag, I see your point and am open to suggestions for an alternative if you would like to put any forward.

Also I reject the notion you put forward that we cannot be Imperial and freedom lovers. We are the IDS becuase we love our freedom. Any region could have a governor, or just chose to accept the norm or taking a direction for a name, but we fight back by not falling into conformity. The day we just accept that we are the same as the other regions and start acting like them, like how they expect us to, is the day we truly lose our freedom.

I cannot see how you are complaining about inconsistency when this bill is just making the region more consistent with the changes made earlier. 

[CatoMinor]

Well I was hoping there would be more debate, but it looks like there won't. sigh....

Up for final vote

I am almost entirely sure you will never see a non-custom license plate that has just "666" for that reason I am opposed.
