Rough idea of the locations and design of the capitol district

orange north: airport
purple: train lines, stations and associated traffic hubs (the southern one would be considered "urban" as well
dark green: natural parks, city parks and protected areas
light green: more residential areas
dark pink: government and presidential buildings + city zoo
light pink: university
yellow: heart of downtown - commerce and business
brown: military and intelligence buildings

Sponsor: Laki
Occupying: Slot 7

[Joseph Cao]

While this is – thankfully – the clearest and most targeted Peace bill I have seen in a long time, I'd nevertheless like Laki to fulfil his sponsor duties when he's able.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Well, this is a follow up bill to the capitol bill that got passed in the senate, and I did feel a need to go a bit more in detail (as the former was more about the relocation itself). This gives some shape to the capital and adds to the worldbuilding. It deals with making sure transport and accomodations are improved to the norms of a capital, including the airport that needs to be expanded. It creates an actual building for the senate and president to be moved to. It protects some areas that should be protected (nature/environmentalism) and also adds a zoo to give the new city a bit more appeal.
