Ehem, any thoughts?

[Hrafn]

Isn't this the same thing as GMO?

[GreekIdiot]

I personally believe the existent variables under Agriculture are about production and trade, rather than the development of the biotechnology itself. It's variety, hence why I created this proposal.

edit; And it doesn't include development in livestock either.

I think it would make great law. Besides, we really need some more laws under Agriculture..

[GreekIdiot]

Real life legislatures don't have one law for this, or one paragraph, they have plenty, analyzing that detail or the other. Besides, new laws, even slightly different than existing ones can really add to the game, making new players see there is a lot to this game and old players can enjoy the refreshment with new stuff and additions.
