Propose and review new legislative variables for the game.

Yes, it would, although again that too would well be effected by the passing of other laws. This is where the importance of writing bill descriptions come into play.

This is a political game, so why are people so willing to shy away from political, and social, discourse. It doesn't matter whether the options are seen as "right" or "wrong" but whether they could be passed as law and be a political decision. The game requires RP, so why not RP?

Polites nominated this one on the the Final Draft Approval thread.

6. Gov Responsibilities: small increase Civil: Permissive, Morality : small increase Progressive.


Can we see this one added?


Like others, I'm quite keen on it it, but I think it could do with a bit of tweaking.

How about removing the one on "consenting adults", since the laws about sex generally presume coercion isn't involved...

And removing the one about heterosexual incest, since the legality or illegality of homosexuality is determined by another law.

And removing the one about fines for incest, since if incest is a crime, players can use the bill description to define the punishment.

And adding one about the risk of incestuous relationships resulting in pregnancies, since that has always been something people get panicky about, given the risk of genetic defects etc...

Soooo....

Name of the Law/Policy: Policy on incest

Thoughts?

Looks good, I like it.

On a related note, maybe a law about rape could be added?

Interesting idea. I can think of several controversial/"hot topic" options that could be added for that.

I thrown another idea

Name of the Law/Policy: Policy on incest
Law/Policy Category: Moral

Options:
1. All incest is Illegal.
2. Incestuous acts liable to result in pregnancy are illegal.
3. Incestuous relationship are legal.
4. Policy on incest is determined by local governments.
5. The government has no policy on incest.

The big difference between 3 and 5 is
3 the government say it is legal.
5 the government do not care. but let people regulate it themselves.
