This would really add more depth to the position. In fact, all all the cabinet positions should have something such as this that dictates policy.

That why I created my national defense policy.

I think it would be best to make this law about the existance of a national guard only, a law for both national and regional police forces exists already.

That is true, but the MoIA is dedicated for the purpose of controlling police and related entities.

So? That still doesn't explain why a police force and a national guard should be in the same law, especially since the police already got its own law.

Than that law can be removed and this law installed into it's place because it adds a depth to the game.

Why not simply leave the old law and make one about a national guard too. That still adds depth to the game, introduces a new law instead of replacing an old one, and would be systematically more sensible, because there is a significant difference between a national guard and a police force. Apart from that, it could be argued that a national guard still belongs the the Defence Ministry's agenda.

I can agree in a sense, but we are models of parliamentarian republics and parliamentarian governments in general and in most parliamentarian governments the Internal Affairs Ministry (or equiv.) handles the "national guard" for instance Russia with the MVD and the OMON troops and the same with many nations such as France with the National Gendarmerie.

I edited it.

Great, I fully support this now.
