20251129-2 • The Human Rights Bill • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

CONSIDERING that a Constitution may be written soon,

CONSIDERING that democracy and human rights are non-negotiable,

CONSIDERING that no protection of aforementioned rights has been defined,

I, u/AltDetom555555b, in my sound mind and body, RESOLVED to propose a bill to the first council of the r/TeenGovernment subreddit, whose goals are to protect democracy and human rights.

ADDING that anyone can contribute to the HRB before its passage in the Council by posting a post with the flair “Proposition for Council” and whose title starts with “HRB amendment proposition:”. This formatting is not mandatory, but would ease the process.
AMENDMENTS shall be voted separately, at the same time or right after the first draft of the HRB.

# HUMAN RIGHTS BILL

Article I – Humans are born and remain free and equal in rights.

Article II - Power to create, change and repeal the laws shall emit from the people. No violation of the concepts of Democracy and the rule of law shall be tolerated.

Article III - None shall make law establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, nor shall the rights of Conscience be infringed, provided that expressing such thoughts does not trouble the public order established by the law.

Article IV – Liberty consists of doing anything which does not harm others: thus, the exercise of the natural rights of each human has only those borders which assure other members of the society the fruition of these same rights.

Article V – The council has the right to forbid only actions harmful to society. Anything which is not forbidden by the law cannot be impeded, and no one can be constrained to do what it does not order.

Article VI – The law is the expression of the general will. All the citizens have the right of contributing personally. It must be the same for all, either that it protects, or that it punishes. All the citizens, being equal in its eyes, are equally admissible to all public dignities, places, and employments, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents.

Article VII – No human can be accused, arrested nor detained but in the cases determined by the law, and according to the forms which it has prescribed. Those who solicit, dispatch, carry out or cause to be carried out arbitrary orders, must be punished; but any citizen called or seized under the terms of the law must obey at once; he renders himself culpable by resistance.

Article VIII - The right of the People to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Article IX – The law should establish only penalties that are strictly and evidently necessary, and no one can be punished but under a law established and promulgated before the offense and legally applied.

Article X – Any human being presumed innocent until he is declared culpable if it is judged indispensable to arrest him, any rigor which would not be necessary for the securing of his person must be severely reprimanded by the law.

Article XI - No person shall be subject to more than one trial, or one punishment for the same offense, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case, to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

Article XII – The free communication of thoughts and of opinions is one of the most precious rights of human: any citizen thus may speak, write, print freely, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.

Article XIII – In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence.

Article XIV - Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Article XV – The society has the right of requesting an account from any public agent of its administration.

Article XVI - The enumeration in the HRB or the Constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Article XVII – Property being an inviolable and sacred right, no one can be deprived of private usage, if it is not when the public necessity, legally noted, evidently requires it, and under the condition of a just and prior indemnity.

20251130-1 • The Flairs Bill • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

CONSIDERING the lack of customisable post and publication flairs,

CONSIDERING the multiple recent cases of “misflairing”

TAKING IN ACCOUNT u/are-my-next-victim ’s proposition of custom flairs and my will of expanding it,

Article V - this bill enters into effect upon passage by parliament. Rights and restrictions created by this act apply to all users of the subreddit, moderators included.

20251202-0 • We Need Some Community Events • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

as more parties form and split the people apart, what we really need right now are some government or community led events. things that fuel our innate competitive nature while still staying on good terms with our neighbors. 

therefore, i propose we have community game-nights. whether they’re led and hosted by regular civilians or by a member of the council (or perhaps a new position in the government is made for it), they will be a helpful tool in holding our community together even when our politics split us apart.

contests could also be pretty important and serve as another way for non-government employees to make choices that affect us. flag, motto, and currency deciding, hell even creating an anthem for us. all of these things allow the creatives in here to shine and be acknowledged and appreciated for their work. a nation without art or culture is a failing nation.  

tldr: a bill that mandates occasional game nights (by whatever means you choose; this does not mean mandatory participation, just that its a thing) and allowing the people to choose our flag, motto, and other important art.

20251205-0 • Satires and attack ads • Regulates satire posts and ads attacking person(s).

Rules:

    Satires must be obviously marked with the new post flair.

    They must ONLY attack someone based on their policies or actions on the sub.

    They must be in accordance with all the rules.

    President can remove them.

20251208-0 • Prop For Council • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

    I say we set up a kind of judicial system to monitor laws, because there doesn’t seem to be a main group of laws that are really being enforced other than obvious ones(no pedos), and if we really want to stimulate government we will need a judicial system. This is why we should have the president nominate people, congress check them, and finally have the people vote to allow them into the Supreme Court, and the people in thr Supreme Court can set Lower courts to monitor less important laws. What do you guys think?

20251209-0 • The Petition Act • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

We as DIP have been working on this act for a long time we hope you enjoy it and maybe add it?

Section 1. Purpose of This Act

The purpose of this act is to establish a clear and organized system for how Citizens may bring forward ideas and take part in community decisions. This section introduces the scope and intention before defining the terms and steps used in the process.

Section 2. Definitions

Citizen: Any Reddit account older than 30 days and active in the subreddit, defined as commenting at least once per week.

Moderator Role

Moderators may not vote, create petitions, or take part in political processes.

Moderators stay neutral and may delete petitions that violate Reddit TOS, are impossible to execute, or are not serious/community-focused.

Petition: A Citizen-led proposal created only after a council suggestion has been ignored or declined.

Council Suggestion: A formal proposal submitted to the council.

Section 3. Scope of Petitions and Laws

Petitions: Citizen-led suggestions for community decisions, including overriding ignored or rejected council suggestions after 14 days.

Existing Laws and Pinning Rules: Petitions cannot conflict with existing laws and may propose deletion. Deleted laws cannot be recreated by the council for 30 days. Petitions must wait 7 days before pinning if they reach 20% support. These related rules are combined here to keep the structure simple.

Section 4. Council Suggestion and Petition Process

Any Citizen may create a council suggestion.

A petition may be created 14 days after a suggestion if the council declines it, does not respond, or marks it “In Progress” but does not complete it within the 14-day extension.

Petitions reach Level 1/2 consideration after 7 days, and a Citizen may create a new petition only 21 days after their previous one. These points are grouped to keep the process consistent.

Section 5. Petition Rules and Support

Only Citizens may create petitions.

Moderators, council members, and the president cannot create petitions.

Petitions must use the official “Petition” flair, be serious, and relate to community governance.

Petitions cannot conflict with existing laws.

Citizens show support by commenting on the petition thread; only one comment per Citizen counts, and signatures must include the Citizen’s Reddit username (automatically visible).

Section 6. Voting Process

Voting happens in a 14-day Petition Vote post.

Citizens participate by commenting to show support.

Votes are counted exactly 14 days after the post is created.

Section 7. Petition Power Levels
Level 1: 50% Citizen Support → Council Review

If 50% of Citizens support the petition, the council must review it and respond with Accept or Reject, including an explanation.

No law is created automatically at this level.

Level 2: 70% Citizen Support → Automatic Law or Deletion

If 70% of Citizens support, the petition becomes law automatically or removes an existing law.

The president cannot veto it.

Council must enforce it immediately.

Petitions cannot modify existing laws; they may delete them or create new ones that do not conflict.

Section 8. Protection of Citizen Rights

No Citizen may be punished for signing or not signing a petition.

All Citizens have equal rights within the petition system.

No one may pressure or manipulate signatures or votes.

Moderators cannot vote, create petitions, or intervene.

Section 9. Amendment of This Act

This Act may only be changed with 80% Citizen support through a valid petition. Council and president cannot change or remove this act.

20251211-0 • The Subreddit Organization Act • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

Hello everyone. I’m proposing a permanent megathread for this subreddit, explaining the following important details of the sub: All the parties and their leaders, what they stand for, and if the party leaders feel so inclined, a link to their Discord servers. It would also list the current President and Council, and all of their partisan affiliations. Responsibility for updating this megathread will fall to the President.

20251212-0 • Offsite Media Act • Creates official TeenGovernment discord.

 I believe that without proper media and news rules, we will falter in our subs success. This is why the Lion Party is proposing the Media Act.

Section 1: The creation of a discord server used by the population of r/teengovernment, primarily for creating and spreading various forms of media better suited for off Reddit, consisting of, but not limited to; books, magazines, television shows, or commercials. This will not only boost drive for creation, but also provide a space for world building, like fictional companies

Section 2: A dedicated section within the Discord server operated by news networks based around the subreddit. This will act as a second area for news already on r/Teenews, a ground of discussion, as well as the opportunity for independent journalists to gain popularity.

Section 3: Each election, there will be party leaders debate hosted by aforementioned news networks/journalists. The rules of the debate, and rules of participating in the debate itself shall be defined by the host of the debate. This will provide a new, proper way for parties to get their messages out there.

Section 4: If this act is passed by the Council, the responsibility for the creation of this discord server will be given to a special committee, members chosen by the current President.

20251213-1 • The Toxicity Act / William 2 • Allows people to be "mean"

This is the second William paper.

What does it mean to be toxic? Oxford languages defines the adjective toxic as “harmful or dangerous to health or life when taken into the body; poisonous.” Personally, I’d define toxicity as disdain toward another force. Toxicity, at its core, is free speech!

So why can’t you express it? Why can’t you express free speech? Toxicity isn’t hate-it’s disdain! Hate and toxicity are two completely different things. For example, let’s look at John and Henry. John posts on r/SecretFemboys saying; “ALL HAIL THE MAN I CANT MENTION OR ILL GET FLAGGED”. However, Henry posts on the same subreddit talking to a moderator who made fun of his polka-dot spotted skirt. Henry replies; “Shut up”. They both get banned. John deserved the ban, but Henry didn’t. How does this make sense?

What I propose: a new article (section 1). The right to Toxicity. People deserve to be mean, not hateful.

The Editing of Rule 1
Edited Rule 1: no citizen may spit hate speech, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, anti-semitism, nor spew hate toward any group.

Article XVIII (18): The right to be toxic.
all citizens, as long as not being hateful, and just spewing an opinion, not hate speech, may be as mean or nice as they’d see fit-and be able to be reprimanded by their colleagues, but not moderators. If this citizen does break a rule however, they still break a rule.
Article XIX (19): The right to toxicity against citizens of power
citizens of power, such as moderators, presidents, council members, or any of the sort as seen fit as the president, may not reprimand a citizen for speaking out against themselves or their colleagues.

20251213-4 • Freedom Of Speechfreedom Of Party Restrictions • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

As everyone knows, parties have been getting rather aggressive with their attempts at disbanding others, and this needs to stop, and so I propose a bill to be voted on, these are the main points of this bill, as well as limiting free speech that could be harmful to others.

1: saying threating, racist, sexist, homophobic, and other derogatory terms or direct sayings that can be said are meant to hurt someone’s mental, emotional, or physical wellbeing will be banned, as many may say this could mean many things, the judicial branch could create a separate court for this, deciding on whether or not the intention of it was meant to harm, and if it was deleted after the time it came under review than this will be an admittance of guilt and will be suspended for however long the judges decide.

2: individuals or members of parties cannot make laws specifically trying to deny the right of existence for another party for their own gain or for personal grudges, this includes making bills that are targeted against specific people as well, for this should be deliberated by the judicial and congress, and whatever decision they come to is what’s shall happen of the person or party involved. 

3: Bills must be all encompassing, for example: if a bill was passed that prevented extremes, it couldn’t be just far right or left or centrist, it must be all of them. So if a bill is passed or even deliberated upon, it must be understood that it must affect everything that could be labeled under what the bill was trying to affect.

4: if it is apparent that one party has become belligerent towards all others(does not affect single wars between parties), and isn’t seeming to be deleted despite many attempts, then citizens may start making bills to try and stop them.

Thanks for reading =p

20251219-0 • An Act To Amend The Laws Of The Judiciary • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

Whereas that all authority of government, whether legislative, judicial or executive comes from the people, and that all proceedings of the Judiciary must be fair;

And whereas that heretofore the laws of the Judiciary have been mostly, but not perfectly defined in agreement with this principle, the laws of the Judiciary shall hereby be amended thus:

1. That the form of trial defined as summary judgement shall be abolished.
2. That all proceedings of the Judiciary in any trial shall be screenshotted and posted on the subreddit by the Chief Justice, the head officer of the Judiciary, that office being herein defined; that the citizens may know what is going on.
3. And that if due to that the citizens disapprove of the proceedings of the trial, if at least 75% of the citizens of the subreddit, in a public petition or survey, voice their disapproval, the trial shall be ruled a mistrial and shall be restarted.
4. The Council shall have the power to enforce these amendments to the laws of the Judiciary by appropriate legislation.

20251220-0 • Anticorruption Paper • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

Can we see what council members vote for? I don’t mean who they vote for, I mean for like propositions, and whether they approve or veto them. Because right now, someone could promise something for the council, get elected, and then go back on their word and start vetoing or approving proposals of the type that they said they would never do such. But if we could see what they vote for, we could see if someone’s breaking their promises. Not that I suspect any members of the council to be lying, but I hope this decreases future corruption in the council or president positions.

20251221-0 • Anticorruption Paper Ii • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

My idea is that no moderator should be able to hold a seat in the council, or be president/vice president. Of course, there will be some exceptions. Due\_Camel is currently our acting president, and he will remain so until the next election. SomWan is running for president, and if he wins, will be allowed to complete his term. He’s temporarily mod, so this wont affect him. So basically, no council member/president is allowed to apply in the mod vote, and vice versa, except the exceptions I’ve already listed. This is so that the War on Will doesn’t happen again, which started because DueJob was “bored” and added Arc to the council gc. I believe that he was bored because he had so much power, being a mod and a council member.

20251223-0 • Anticorruption Paper Iii • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

No politician of any sort is allowed to make or accept a political crime, such as threats, blackmail, bribes, etc. If said politician accepts a bribe, the blame is on the politician and the briber. However, if they refuse, the blame is now solely on the briber. If a politician is blackmailed or threatened, the blame shall be on the blackmailer/threatener and the politician will be protected by the mods from the information being released. The same goes for the politician if they ever do these things, such as bribe people into voting them and things like that. NO ONE is above this law, from citizens to council members to mods.

20251227-0 • Anticorruption Paper Iv • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

No citizen is allowed to use an alt to vote for themselves, or just vote for themselves regularly, as that would be voter fraud and the sub does not allow people to vote for themselves. They also cannot try to bribe, threaten, or blackmail a citizen into committing voter fraud for them, as that would violate the third anti-corruption paper. Mods also must count the votes correctly and accurately, showing no bias. They also cannot be bribed, threatened, or blackmailed. This will apply to all elections, from lawyer to mod elections. This is to reduce corruption in this election, as I have already heard about voter fraud happening.

20251229-0 • The Heraldry Act • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

Here on this sub, we need symbols just like any country. I am proposing the following: 

  
A camel for our national animal, in honor of our founder and first president

A flamingo for national bird, to honor the anti-fascist Flamingo Coalition 

  
And a chompoo pantip for our national plant, because Min-Marine on Discord suggested it and the only idea I had was marijuana.

20251231-1 • Proposition For Council Party Competition And • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

Key definitions:

Party — a political organization consisting of three or more members

Registration — a citizen being admitted to a party. Each citizen may be registered to a single party at any given time

Census — a list of all members registered in a given party

Census period — a weeklong period in between censuses

Coalition — an agreement between parties to work together to further their political interests

Political Action Group — a group of individuals that may or may not belong to different parties, whose goal is only to oppose an existing party or ideology.

Article 1: Any group of three or more citizens have the right to create a party by creating a post stating their party name and founding members.

Article 2: Every census period, parties must publish a census of ALL registered members’ usernames.

Article 3: No party may register more members than one fourth of the previous census’s sum of registered members across all parties.

Article 4: Any two or more parties may create a coalition between themselves, but a coalition may not have a combined membership count more than 150% of the largest party.

Article 5: Failure to adhere to articles 1, 2 or 3 will result in the party being delisted for one or more census periods in which they may not register any new members. They may still vote and create propositions for council.

Article 6: Should a party be found to violate a delisting, they will be terminated.

Article 7: To enforce aforementioned regulations, an independent review committee will be established. Members of this review committee will be democratically through popular vote. No two members of this committee may be registered in the same party.

Article 8: Existing parties will have a 2 week grace period after the first census to sort out membership to ensure they meet regulations.

Some thoughts/reasoning:

Why is one fourth the limit for party size? We want to ensure competition between parties to drive progress and avoid duopolies found in the American government.

Why do we want usernames to be counted? To ensure some level of integrity and to ensure no new members are being recruited during a potential delisting.

Why is 3 is the proposed minimum for a party? Because 2 isn’t really enough, but the sub is still small, and we want everyone to be able to find a group of like minded individuals.

Feel free to ask questions.

20260101-0 • Party Rule • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

Due to all of the posts about the VIES party bill, I want to put forward a very, very simplified version of it, which could be added to the rules for basic notation.

A party can be created when 3 or more people agree to create one singular party. 

If it is 1 person, they should be named an independent, an not have a one man party.

If it is 2 people, they will remain as independents but may agree to form an alliance.

I think this is a fairly easy to remember rules that will help unclutter the sub somewhat.

All parties formed or pre-existing will remain unimpeded

20260104-0 • Party articles • Regulates party size and coalitions.

On Jan. 3, 2026, I, Dizzy, of sound mind and body, propose these party Bills to solve a problem. That problem, among others, is the problem of too many party leaders and not enough party members. Reminder these are not all original to me. most articles are proposed by others that I am incorporating. I will give credit as needed
ARTICLE I (original prop by susamogus29)
A party can be created when 3 or more people agree to create one singular party.
If it is 1 person, they should be named an independent, and not a one man party.
If it is 2 people, they will remain as independents but may agree to form an alliance.
I think this is a fairly easy to remember rules that will help unclutter the sub somewhat.
All parties formed or pre-existing will remain unimpeded
ARTICLE II (original prop by No_Letterhead6010, revised by me)
A census will be held on the last day of each month. Every census period, parties must publish a census of ALL registered members’ usernames. Existing parties will have a 2 week grace period after the first census to sort out membership to ensure they meet regulations. It is the duty of party leaders to conduct the aforementioned censuses.
ARTICLE III (by camel)
if it is apparent that one party has become belligerent towards all others(does not affect single wars between parties), and isn’t seeming to be deleted despite many attempts, then citizens may start making bills to try and stop them.
ARTICLE IV (by camel)
individuals or members of parties cannot make laws specifically trying to deny the right of existence for another party for their own gain or for personal grudges, this includes making bills that are targeted against specific people as well, for this should be deliberated by the judicial and congress, and whatever decision they come to is what’s shall happen of the person or party involved
ARTICLE V (by No_Letterhead6010, revised by me)
Any two or more parties may create a coalition between themselves, but a coalition may not have a combined membership count more than 3 times the population of the largest party.

20260104-1 • Executive council act • No summary.

Recently there have been a slew of new laws proposed and passed in council. I think that it’s good that we’ve been establishing new rules and creating order, but I keep noticing the same issue appearing in all of these laws.
Namely, the lack of a regulating body to enforce and carry out these laws. Another problem I’ve noticed is that no archive of laws is being made. We have no way of knowing the laws we’ve established other than searching through old posts. This has already presented itself as a problem with the party bills, with due_camel’s bill that was passed by the council being proposed again by someone else. Therefore, in order to create a legitimate enforcement system and solve these issues, I propose the following:
Definitions:
-Census: as defined in Due_Camel’s party bill passed by the council
Article I:
A new entity is to be established; the executive cabinet. It will be comprised of ‘departments’ responsible for managing and enforcing laws regarding a specific subject assigned to individual departments.
Article II:
Departments will be comprised of ‘ministers’ who are assigned specific duties. Citizens will be nominated for a position in the Cabinet by the president-elect and will be appointed after being confirmed by the council in a 5/7 majority vote. No citizen may be nominated while holding another governmental office, nor may they be nominated for more than one ministerial position.
After confirmation by the council, they will serve until the next cabinet is nominated and confirmed. Should the council deem a minister unfit in their duties via a 5/7 majority vote, they will be impeached and any staff appointed by their authority will be removed. The president must then nominate another citizen to take their place.
Article III:
A new department is to be established: the Department of Public Affairs. This department will be responsible for communicating with the general public.
Two ministers will oversee the department:
-Minister of the Press, responsible for informing citizens of the council’s decisions regarding recent propositions.
-Minister of the Library, responsible for creating and maintaining a publicly accessible list of all bills passed by the Council.
Article IV:
A new department is to be established: the Department of Political Affairs. This department will be responsible for enforcing laws regarding political parties and the government.
Three ministers will oversee the department:
-Minister of Elections, responsible for overseeing the registration of candidates, creation of the ballot, and determining results
-Minister of the Census, responsible for communicating with party leaders and registering independents on the census in accordance with previously established law.
-Minister of Political Regulation, responsible for enforcing any laws concerning political parties and coalitions.
Article V:
Should a minister find their duties too burdensome, they may make a request to the council to expand their department and recruit aid. Should the council approve such a request, the minister may recruit a number of citizens decided by the council. Citizens recruited to aid a department will not be considered ministers.
Article VI:
New departments and ministerial positions will be established in one of two ways:
-A bill proposing the creation of a new department or ministry passed by the council.
-The president and council agreeing to split an already existing department or ministerial position’s responsibilities.
Edit: Passed as of 8 January 2026

20260105-0 • Council Communication Bill • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

Wha I’m proposing is simple and easy to enact. Im proposing that there be a Minister of Communication who clearly communicates the actions of the council to the people. All definitions for the terms used in this bill can be found in both the constitution and due\_camels post on the party bill.

Article 1: The current president shall appoint an active member of r/TeenGovernment that, he deems fit to communicate clearly to the people the councils decisions and reasons for those decisions. They will be called the Minister of Communication. If a member appointed by the president refuses to take the office, the president must accept the candidates refusal and search for someone else.

Article 2: The Minister of Communication will serve their term as long as the presidents term lasts, and a new minister will be appointed by the new president unless the new president also appoints the same active member as the previous president.

Article 3: If the Minister of Communication is thought to be deficient or defective, the council may impeach them and with a 4/7 vote and work in tandem with the president to appoint a new minister.

Article 4: After the council has made a decision on a bill, the minister has 24 hours to make a post clearly communicating how and why the bill was either vetoed, rejected, or passed. If the minister fails to report to the people on the decisions of council, a vote is opened up to the council on whether or not the minister is to be impeached.

I believe if this bill is passed then we, the people, will be able to be more in touch with the council and its decisions, thus better informing this nations citizens. Thank you for reading this far and giving this idea your time.

20260108-0 • Longevity Act • Removes term limits for council members.

 This act, upon being passed, will immediately remove the term limit for council members.

This will include all former, current, and future council members.

Open to amendment by council.

20260109-0 • Anticorruption Paper V • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

Regarding the new ministers and cabinet:

Minister of the Press: Cannot report falsely on purpose, as that would make the public believe that a bill was passed when it actually wasn’t, and vice versa.

Minister of Library: Bills said to be passed in the list must actually be passed, for the same reasons as the minister of the press.

Minister of Elections: Also cannot be bribed, blackmailed, threatened into lying about the results, and must report truthfully.

Minister of the Census: Has to correctly label how many and who is in a party, because I can see some big drama coming from that.

Ministers of Political Regulation: maintain party and coalition laws, maybe also have the minister be non partisan to make sure they won’t show as much bias to their parties or coalition.

  
Other Papers, like ACP II and ACP III, will also apply to them.

20260110-0 • Femboy Act • No description

 So recently I just realized that we as citizens pretty much CANNOT change what powers the Council does and does not have. Which is a bit unfair for us all, if Council decides to block everything that would effect them. Why would we let the people who would be most corrupt decide exactly what they want? That just kinda ruins the whole point of checks and balances. So I propose:

The Femboy Act

proposed by u/Kooky_Marketing_327 of the FUCK party on 01.09.26

    That whenever a bill that affects or changes the Council's power is proposed by a citizen, the proposer of the bill can request a special election be held for this bill, rather than going through to Council.

        This special election will:

            be held/posted by the Minister of Elections

            be hosted on whatever platform the Minister chooses/uses for regular elections

            given to all citizens

            be bound to all the same regulations as regular elections

            be held within 2 days of the proposal being proposed

            require a 75% majority "yes" to pass

        The Council can object to this special election through a 4/7 council vote (this can be overturned by regular presidential vetoes and subject to same veto rules/overturns)

        The Council may also reject this bill if it passes through a 6/7 council vote (still subject to presidential vetoes and veto rules/overturns)

        If the proposer of the bill would like the bill to go to the Council rather than special vote, they can also do that.

    This bill will take effect (if it passes) immediately.

This proposal is completely open to any amendments.

20260110-1 • Bed Act • Requires data a bill is enacted to be put in the bill

 So I feel like whenever something gets proposed, and then passed, we don't really see much of it or hear much of it afterwards. We don't really even know if it gets implemented. I feel like this bill would help clear things up. So I'm proposing the:

BED (Bill Enactment Date) Act

proposed by u/Kooky_Marketing_327 of the FUCK party on 01.09.26

    All proposals/bills MUST include or say when this bill will be enacted or take into effect,

        this includes proposals by citizens and council proposals

        it needs to either be a date, a marking of an event, or an immediate enactment

            all dates must be in MM/DD/YY

            marking of an event example as in: "bill will be implemented at the start of the next election cycle, when the next president is sworn in, or after the council is elected."

            you can also have it be enacted immediately. example: listed as "act will take effect immediately after passing"

            the date or time listed must be within a month and reasonable

        If a bill fails to meet the requirement, Council can either amend the bill and add a time of their own that does comply, or reject the bill completely (proposer can re add date and propose again ofc)

            this will be decided by Council (vote, consensus, whatnot)

            if Council rejects, they must notify the proposer immediately and inform them that their bill did not meet the criteria

    This bill will be enacted immediately (if it passes ofc)

This bill is completely open to any amendments by the Council

20260112-0 • Councilman Status Act • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

On The Council: As it has been apparent as of late, people are dissatisfied with the council, due to their inefficiency and secrecy. The council is unable to operate at their best capacity when a large number of its members aren’t present or active, thus I, roemaencepartnaer, propose this bill.

**Article I - Inactive**

A council member can he declared inactive in two ways, if they did not provide prior notification of their absence.

* Council member has not voted on the last three proposals. OR
* Council member has not been active in chat for the last two days.

A valid vote is: “Aye”, ”Nay”, or “Abstain”. If one abstains from a vote, they are required to provide their reason for doing so. Each prop has 24 hours to be voted on, once Council Members are asked to vote.

Active in the chat can be considered sending one message in the Council Chat.

**Article II - Consequence**

If a council member is declared inactive, they are to be alerted of this status and given 24 hours after this message to give a reason for absence.

The Council, excluding “inactive“ member, will deliberate on whether or not provided reasoning is acceptable. If not found acceptable, Council members may decide on a consequence. Options contain, but are not limited to:

* Impeachment
* Public Announcement
* A fine (If we ever develop a currency)

If one has been marked inactive before, and were not pardoned, they are required to disclose that information if running for any other position of office after the council term has ended.

**Article III - Not Applicable**

This bill does not apply on holidays.

**Article IV - Elaboration**

If impeached on account of this bill, a replacement should be announced within the next hour of impeachment’s announcement. The replacement should be the highest runner-up from the most recent election.

If passed this bill will go into effect on 1/12/2026.

\- Sincerely, Roe

20260114-0 • Proposition On Simplification In Council • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

**Article I**

A majority will be defined as at least 4 out of 7 council members in favor of a bill, resolution, or confirmation. 

**Article II**

A supermajority will be defined as at least 4 out of 7 council members in favor with no more than 1 against. 

**Article III**

A unanimous majority will be defined as 7 out of 7 council members in favor. 

**Article IV** 

All existing laws requiring a 5/7 or 6/7 majority in council will be amended to require a supermajority as defined in Article II.

20260119-0 • Emergency Past Actions Remedy Amendment • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

Article 1: all laws prior to the passing of this amendment passed without presidential approval and without qurom and prior actions in states of emergency shall be considered legal and all laws passed by congress prior remain on the books

20260119-1 • Executive Order Act • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

Unfortunately, council seems to randomly go stagnant, and we need to go into a state of emergency. That is why I am proposing the EO Act.

This act will allow the president to immediately sign any bills into law / create and sign their own bills.

These powers may be used after a period of 3 days (72 hours) has passed without any vote on bills, excluding times without any bills waiting for vote.

Executive orders may be cancelled/called back within 1 week of being made, and will require at least 70% of council to vote for the cancellation. 

70% is currently 5 of 7 members, and after next election cycle, will be 7 of 9 members.

* Article II: The definition of espionage is thus: Being in any platform outside of the SMP that you are not wanted in that you have accessed through an alt, conveying private information from one Outside of-SMP Group to another Outside of-SMP or the SMP if you are there without the consent of the chat owner, using an alt to access a chat where you are not wanted, collecting information for yourself while being in the chat under a main or alt without the chat owner knowing about or supporting your presence in the chat, or using your main account for any of these purposes.

General Reforms 2

* Article I: Any form of legal council for someone does not have the same obligation to bring evidence of crime to law (as to preserve attorney client privilege)

* Article II: For the specific case of council size limit determination the prior sub size based method will be used. (I have noticed some debate on the exact size so we shall determine that afterwards in a separate proposal)

* Article III: It is illegal to remove evidence of a crime, violations shall be considered a high crime.

Article IV: The Minister of Library shall be merged under the Wiki team as with the wiki team there is minimal clear authority for the minister of Library which would not be filled by the Wiki team, we do not need a position to exist at such a level which has no clear job set out for it.

* Article V: Any council member who is considered to have a clear “Unique personal conflict of interest” on a proposition cannot make a vote which favors their personal conflict of interest, forced to either abstain (which mathematically reduces the total votes needed, for example if two abstain a 2 out of three voting majority passes something, this in parentheses is an explanation of existing law, not a proposal) or vote against their interest. “Unique personal conflict of interest” is defined as a conflict of interest that is not inherent to simply being in council, is not clearly held by over 2 fifths of the population, is not simply due to one's party, and is not held by a majority of the government.

* Article VI: A minister of economics shall be created at the economies release. This minister shall hold authority over the regulation of companies in a similar way to that the minister of political regulations holds. They can also make economic decisions, this is as not everyone in council is a fellow economics nerd and many vote against things they don't understand out of principle, something we should respect. The Minister's decisions on economic policy are able to be overridden by council, and the minister cannot overrule decisions by council, including economic directives for them to carry out. These economic decisions shall initially be taxes and spending, but by majority vote they can be given new authorities. Council can give a broad set of economic principles to be followed if they choose, though if a clear economic crisis occurs said principles can be suspended until council can give new directives.

* Article VII: If there is a time where a position has no minister, possibly through resignation, the president can take on authorities of that position until a new minister is appointed. This is so vital government services can continue during such times, and is intended as an emergency stop gap measure. Article VIII: The Minister of political regulations is abolished and authorities are transferred to census due to rarely being needed and being closely related to the census results (Former minister of political regulations recommendation, due to reddit issues they resigned on discord)

20260127-0 • Council Integrity And Fairness Act • Imported from Reddit - Status: Unknown

After a month in council, I can officially say that I have seen and experienced what it is like to partake in this experiment.

However, I have also taken note of who speaks in council. That is why we at the Lion Party are proposing this bill.

1; All people present in the Council GC who are not elected representatives of the people will not be allowed to speak. This will include Due\_Camel, moderators, the Press Secretary, or other people present who were not elected to serve in council.

An exception to this rule applies to the Press Secretary, who may input their thoughts after a decision is made in a single message, and Due\_Camel, who may speak if a question is directed towards him.

2; Prop 1 will include moderators. If moderator action is required in the council GC, the perpetrator will be messaged directly.

3; Breaking this rule will require punishment, chosen by members of the subreddit in a dedicated post. Options for punishment will be made by the judicial branch on a case-to-case basis, however options may be made by council if the judicial branch is unavailable or unresponsive. 

The punishments shall be put in a reddit poll, always including a “Remake the punishments” option.

4; If a set of punishments are, by the people’s vote, sent to be remade, then the punishments will be overturned and a new set will be demanded of the judicial branch. Suggestions may be made by people in comments of the aforementioned poll.

20260128-0 • Reproposition Cifa • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

20260130-1 • Foreign Ministers Bill • (No summary)

 A new ministerial position will be established: The Minster of Foreign Relations

This position will have the duties of advertising r/TeenGovernment to other subs to hopefully grow the sub, for example posting an advertisement where people might be interested and see it, outside of the r/TeenGovernment hub of subreddits.

They also conduct potential diplomats and ambassadors to other polsim subreddits in the possibility the sub decides to try having relations with other subs again.

Like all other ministers, the Minister of Foreign Relations can be impeached through a 6/9 vote in council, updated for the new council size. (You can laugh now) They will also be nominated by the president to serve, like any other minister.

Article 3: This takes effect on passage

20260201-0 • Prohibition Of Voting Change Bill • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

This bill is simple. It outlawed anyone changing their vote in an election for council, president, justice, etc. This is so that nobody is biased by the exit poll of the day and changes their vote.

Also it’s complicated when you are counting the votes. Does a changed vote count? Does it not count? Well, as of this bill’s passing, it would be illegal to change your vote in elections unless your ballot was filled out incorrectly (e.g. not putting voter code).

If an election changes (e.g. a candidate drops out of the race), a voter can change their vote ONLY if one or more of their previous choices were affected by it (let’s say username votes candidate 1, 2, and 3, but then candidate 2 drops out of the race, username can change their vote to candidate 4) and the only choice or choices they can change is the one affected by the change in the election.

Previous voting changes shall be forgiven and the changed votes shall be counted.

This bill will go into effect immediately apon passage

20260201-1 • The modmail act • Helps welcome new users into the community

 As defined by the constitution, a citizen is any unbanned member of the subreddit. However, from personal experience I can attest that it is exceedingly difficult for new citizens to participate in public life, or even exercise their basic rights like voting, as so much information is scattered and gatekept (not to mention the sub rules and wiki are very outdated). This has been demonstrated by the low voter turnout.

To address this issue, I propose that our government enact as follows:

    That when a new user joins the subreddit, they get an automatic message via modmail, which provides essential information on the subreddit, its structure and governance, as well as their constitutional rights and responsibilities. The modmail will include a link to the ARPD website, in order to access information about specifics like laws and individual citizens.

    Within the automatic modmail will be a direct link to the voter registration form, provided so that it will be easier for a citizen to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

20260202-0 • The Great Olive Oil Act • Imported from Reddit - Status: Passed

please forgive the naming of this act :3

\*in trump voice*\** *so i was thinking to myself, y'know, kooky, for a very long, long time, it has been tremendously hard to find what bills had passed and what didnt, believe me. the minister of library, hes a great, great guy, but he hasnt been doing his job very well, can you believe it? nobodys seen anything like it, very very shocking. this bill i am about to propose, it is a great idea, very successful, youve never seen anything like it. it will help with finding laws so much, you'll tell me, please, kooky its too much finding. so for the first time ever, here is the very very, huge, historic proposal:* \*end trump voice\*

**the (great) Olive Oil Act**

proposed by [u/Kooky\_Marketing\_327](https://www.reddit.com/user/Kooky_Marketing_327/) of the FUCK party on 02.01.26

1. the addition of three new post flairs listed as
1. Proposal for Council: Passed
2. Proposal for Council: Not Passed
3. Proposal for Council: Passed w/ Amendments
2. when proposals go through council, a council chosen person(s) with power to change post flairs will change the chosen proposals flair to list whether it has passed council or not passed. the chosen person can be anyone, as long as they are given access to council chats and permissions to change post flairs.
3. if Passed w/ Amendments flair is chosen, the chosen person also has to comment on the post what has been amended.
4. This bill will go into effect immediately

This is open to any amendment by council

This new proposal will ensure that all the bills passed will be recorded with ease and easily accessible to all using flair searches. This bill is not intended to take away the ARPD or Min. of Library's job, as they can still record bills regularly and can even become the chosen flair changer. Also the trump thing was for fun if i offended you in any way i didnt mean to. also ignore the title olive oil has nothing to do with this act. iykyk :3

20260215-1 • Bob Economy Plan Amendment • Proposes a game-economy.

The Bob Economy Plan amendment

PREAMBLE: What if I told you we have an immense opportunity? An opportunity to make something accessible. An opportunity to make something without scandal. We have an opportunity to make something clearly truly ours. Our own game for the economy.

I have spoken with Zeedith from the ARPD, this is an achievable goal. I encourage us not to be daunted by this great task, rather excited by the expansive possibilities layed out before us.

If we refuse to take up this task I will be left asking "what we could have tried." I want to be able to say "what we have done" or even "what we attempted to do" That is why I call on council to pass this amendment and accept this quest to truly make something great for ourselves.

If I am to again use my favorite quote of my journal "fear is the enemy, fear must be be defeated by optimism and spared no quarter." (This may be done as a spoken speech on the discord later on)

Section I: The Tegovian Dollar

Article I: The Tegovian Dollar (TGD) Will be represented with a 𝕋

Article II: The Tegovian Dollar will initially be as a FIAT currency but the government can pass policy to change that if they so please

Article III: The Dollar will be minted solely by the central government

Article IV: if states are implemented, they may not print any competing currency

Article V: The central government will mint all the 𝕋 in circulation.

Section II: How businesses will operate

Article I: Any corporation, workers cooperative, or other similar enterprise, shall be considered together under the umbrella terms “Economic entity” and "businesses" which can be used by the law as needed.

Section III: Game management, and BT

Article I: A game will be made by a team of volunteers, this game will follow any Articles on this game's design

Article II: There will be a team (which will be referred to as Balance Team, or BT) which will manage the balance and any rules in the game which would not naturally be in the hands of a real government.

Article III: The BT will be appointed by the president with council approval by default, (and will likely be the programers of the game) though elections can be held at the government's discretion, structure of the BT will operate in a way determined by the government (which can include letting the team determine it independently if the government so wishes) (The BT cannot be filled by government officials but moderators can, it is not legally considered a government office)

Article IV: The actions the BT engages their authority as the Balance Team in must not be partisan in nature, solely to balance and improve the game in a fair and reasonable way.

Article V: This team can simulate natural disasters and crises if implemented

Section V Game development:

Article I: This game will be developed by a team of volunteers (which unless directly mentioned elsewhere by the law will not be considered a government position) selected by the government or current development team members.

Article II: This team will attempt to complete and maintain the game, they will do this in whatever time frame is reasonable for them

Section V: The game itself.

Article I: Variability is far more important than a strict plan, therefore the developer team shall have some freedoms in what order they implement features and many small details, but the below section will be the guidelines for how the game should be designed which can be altered by simple majority vote in council and BT majority support, or an an amendment with 2 thirds council support, but this plan cannot be intentionally deviated from independently by the team, which is the following rant:

First off we have a finite amount of land, land that can be bought and sold. And one can extract resources from certain types of land. These resources can be bought and sold as well. These resources can be used to make tools to get resources more efficiently, or make facilities to put together resources to make new resources.

How does one go about extraction and other work? By using their labor, everyone has a finite amount of labor to use every simulated day. This labor can be used on one's own land or someone else's. Someone can pay for someone else to use their labor for a job. There should be a threshold, where if one uses labor past that often they risk getting a burn out effect, forcing one not to work

Everyone would also have a certain amount of satisfaction, doing work and being hungry/thirsty reduces it, resting, using certain entertainment equipment, going to certain locations that can be made, and the consumption of some products can raise it.

Resources and labor can be used to make homes of various quality, living in one raises satisfaction.

Everyone has hunger and thirst, and must consume food and liquids or risk massive productivity debuffs.

There is also risk of injury, which by the owner of a facilities investment into some improvements it can be reduced. When injured one cannot work.

There is also illness, by working with or shopping near someone ill one can become ill. Each disease has it's own effects.

Healthcare can help remedy many of these debuffs, and reduce disease risk.

People can create corporations, which work economicly similar to people, they can own anything people can, buy, sell, and hire. Differences are that they can be owned by multiple people, and can have their rights be different from people, of course dependent on the laws by the government.

Unions should also be able to be made, dependent on government laws, to be a body which can negotiate on the behalf of the workers, and call strikes in which labor is stopped.

There should also be management, to hire people for a facility they need management, while the owners could manage one they cannot do multiple. After a certain number of managers eventually a separate manager to manage managers would be needed, as scale increases there will be more layers. To make a change it must go from the top through all of management to reach the facilities.

Also one can set routines so they can continue to work, run a business, and sustain themselves when they are away.

Also there should be a tech tree by using labor one can do research on the tech tree, though special equipment is needed for some. Once someone unlocks something it is unlocked for everyone. But depending on patent laws the inventing person or company has full rights for a time and may sell or lease out these rights. perhaps the starting tech tree at the time in further vote 3.

Also as one does a type of labor they level up that skill becoming more productive and using less labor to do the same work.

There should also be education, making one more productive and becoming able to do certain research requires some types of education. Certain advanced jobs asides research may also require certain education. Education can be administered by the government or private institutions.

The government can, if it so chooses, create SOE's (STATE OWNED ENTITIES) which can do anything a private company can do, including research, but is owned by the government.

Article II: further choices will be put up to vote by majority and will be enshrined here if passed 1. Should the economy be purely player run or should “bots” exist (mathematical players, not gen ai) 2. How should one engage in crime, should it be impossible or should the development team attempt to implement a system? 3. Should the tech tree start at year 1900 or before the industrial revolution? 4. Should BT function the moderation of the game or should a separate team be appointed/elected 4.b if 4 is "separate" than should it be elected or appointed? 5. For the week after ratification any details in article I of this section can be put up to a similar vote in council, this is so it can be changed but the government cannot constantly alter it for it's own benefit.

Article III: All citizens have the right to participate if they are able, but cannot be required participate in the economy and will not lose any rights or privileges on the sub or discord if they do not participate, asides the enjoyment of the economy.

20260215-0 • Anti-Corruption Paper VI • Forms independent Registration and Elections Committee

 As record-keeping, registration, voter fraud, alt accounts and elections are all putting the sub in chaos due to no easy system to follow, (The February Voter Crisis) we, MinecraftGuy7401 and Heavy_Stomach_7633 (Sean), propose that a new independent Registration and Elections Committee (REC) be created to handle the following:

    Keeping records of all users on the subreddit as per the monthly census,

    Making sure every eligible voter is registered as soon as possible after they join,

    Holding the official responsibility of counting all votes come election time, and actively posting live results,

 3A. The REC will do this in two separate spreadsheets, one public, one private. After they get the vote, they will write it on the private spreadsheet with all the info, and then copy and paste it WITHOUT the username and voter code, to the public spreadsheet,

4. Monitoring the official records in order to clamp down on fraud and subvert any usage of alt accounts or any other illegal act that could wrongly influence voting, within the committee’s jurisdiction in order to maintain order,

5. Notifying any registered voters who have not voted at a certain point before polls close with a reminder to vote in any reliable manner (dms, Discord, comments, etc.) to ensure maximum voter turnout.

The Chief of this independent committee shall be chosen by resolution of the Council, passed by a simple majority (5/9) and it is the Chief’s responsibility to select other members using a fair and merit-based application process, similar to a job application.

Further provisions can be added later by council if deemed necessary.

20260216-0 • define population act • Defines the term "population"

So recently, I noticed that some think the sub's "population" is the number of people who have joined the subreddit (clicked the join button), while some think it is those who have filled out the census.

A lot of the people who have pressed join most likely have forgotten about the sub already, have aged out, are alt accounts, or simply clicked the button on accident.

I also noticed that if you follow the first definition, it makes bills like the Petition Act or Section 10 Article 1 and 3 of the Constitution essentially useless, as those couple hundred non active accounts will NOT sign petitions, nor join parties/make coalitions. Making the percentages required for these to become impossible to fill.

Following the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of census, it is an official survey/count of the population.

"Census. Because some people join but leave or there feed doesn’t show it, or just don’t care. The population should be counted by census" - Councilmember u/GAAABE77

"It makes no sense to do [those who have joined], [because] only 1/10 people here are active" - UMTG leader u/Dry_Editor_785

"Yeah, so having the census determine population shouldn't be an issue" - Councilmember u/MagmaFlameFire2 on Discord

This bill will officialy make the definition of "population" in the sub to all those who have filled out the Census. So I propose:

The define population act

proposed by u/Kooky_Marketing_327 of the FUCK party on 02.15.26

The official definition of the term "Population," will be made to mean all those who have officially registered in the Census (aka Registered Citizens),

A defintion is added for the term "Registered Citizen," meaning a person who is a citizen that has officialy registered in the Census.

The definition of Citizen will remain the same (see Constitition),

The constitution, any bills, and/or laws referencing "population" shall henceforth use this definition unless otherwise explicitly defined to use another definition

This bill will take effect immediately upon passage.

if this needs to be an amendment it'll become one as needed. open to amendment by council.

20260217-1 • six seven amendment • Allows all members of the council GC to post links to bills.

 so basically as a Council member I keep noticing it’s really confusing as when bills are put up to vote in the Council Voting GC, most people don’t know if that is the “official” link being put up, as some think it has to be the minister of press and some don’t. This bill is to clarify that ANY member of council voting gc may post the link to vote on the act. So I propose:

six seven amendment

proposed by u/Kooky_Marketing_327 of the FUCK party on 02.16.26

    Any member of the Council Voting GC is allowed to put up a link to vote for bills. This includes the minister of press, mods, the president, and council.

    uh that’s like pretty much it… what were you, expecting a number 2? haha

    this amendment will take effect right away immediately asap

anyways this is open to amendment by council :3 also this isn’t meant to be against camel bail i js had this in my drafts and never psoeted. also sorry for repost turns out this is an amendment?

20260217-3 • The Flair Act Part 2 • Allows editable post flairs.

 A few months ago, we had the Flair Act, which gave us custom user flairs. However, we never got the same right with post flairs. So that is this bill’s purpose.

Article I: Some new flairs will be created, such as: Deal, Peace talks, War, Coalition Creation, Coalition Advertising, and any others that the mods can think of.

Article II: There shall be a of custom post flair, just like the user flairs, and, if the mods decide, they can make multiple of different colors.

Article III: This act will go into effect immediately upon passage

This is open to amendment by council

20260219-0 • Basic anti-trust act • Prevents monopolies.

Basic anti-trust act

Preface: This proposal is not meant to be the full breadth of my economic beliefs, but rather a baseline proposal to avoid monopolies in the labor and consumer markets, something that is perhaps the most barebones anti trust policy can be. Do not take this personally if you worry you're company could be in violation of this than consider dividing up or wait to see if competition emerges, you have yet to spend money on these projects anyways, this is not a punitive system, any assets lost would be compensated, and much cannot yet be enforced without currency to buy these companies. I reiterate this is the most basic and barebones foundation for anti-trust, it can be expanded as needed, and should not be considered a personal slight if this happens to go against your economic interests, this was to occur sooner or later so it's better these ground rules are made early so they can be abided by long before the economy is off the ground.

Article I: If an economic entity, person, or coordinated roup of people, are found to clearly have the economic leverage to exert undue manipulation on the prices of labor or goods that they sell in the market and/or are of operation, they shall be divided in a way percribed by the courts with the tools in article II.

Article II: There are various ways that monopolies can be delt with, one can divide an economic entity into multiple new ones and have them auctioned off or sold to an interested buyer (the proceeds going to the owner), they can also instead of going to auction for a single buyer have the sold stocks go onto the public trading, and optionally let the owner keep a share which would limit the previously held influence, these tools, and others like it as deemed reasonable by the courts, can be used as needed when engaging in anti-trust.

Article III: If it is clear an entity cannot be divided due to not functioning in a divided form, being a one person service operation, or any other such reason  they will be exempt, if a company can be considered a "Natural monopoly" which means they would have dramatically reduced service at a smaller scale, such as a utility company, they can also continue but are expected to have either stringent regulations attached or to be nationalized into being an SOE, at the legislatives standard bill decision processes discretion.

Article IV: This enforcement can be handled by standard prosecution methods unless a minister like the minister of political regulations is created for corporations in which this power will be transferred to them.

Article V: If it is clear a merger or grouping of figures or entities that can cause something which violates this that merger or grouping can be preemptively disbanded or quickly undone.

20260219-3 • The Amended Amended Vice President Act • Adds vice presidents.

(credit to Ok-Clothes for original idea)

The VP position has long been floating around as an idea in everyone’s minds. It has been tried to do twice in the previous weeks, however there has been one major problem no one in council really liked. And that was the VP’s power to vote in council, and have their vote have more weight (would be the deciding factor in case of a tie). So, this act aims to fix that, removing the issue once and for all. I give you, folks, the Amended Amended Vice President Act! (if it is one, it will be labeled as an amendment)

Article I: Every election season, all presidential candidates will choose a running mate, and if the candidate wins, that running mate will become their Vice President.

Article II: The Vice President will have two purposes. For the President, in the case of death, resignation, impeachment, disease, or anything that pops up that makes the president unable to serve, whether that be temporarily or permanently, the Vice President will act as President, choose their own Vice President, and so on. However, if the original Vice President is also unable to serve, the list of succession would go as described in Article VI, Section III of the Constitution. The second purpose is to help advise the President if they are split on an issue or simply want a second opinion.

Article III: If the President does not like their Vice President, they can start a vote within council to decide whether or not to impeach the Vice President, and if the Vice President is impeached, a special election will be held to get a new one, for the public to vote on.

Article IV: This will go into effect immediately upon passing, and is open to amendment by council.

20260220-1 • Privacy protection act • No summary.

so this is the pp (privacy protection) bill. yes i did name it the pp bill. this was to avoid people from taking screenshots of messages without their consent and sharing. its like how ur not allowed to take photos of people irl w/out consent and post online. so anyway i propose that:

the pp act

proposed by u/Kooky_Marketing_327 of the FUCK party on 02.19.26

Taking non-consensual screenshots/screen recordings of messages and distributing the photo afterward will become illegal

to take legal screenshots, you must first ask the other person if they consent (verbal/typed) to taking a screenshot. by consenting to taking ss, you also consent to it being shared. you may also request to have things changed like censoring certain parts.

screenshots being used for blackmail purpose will also become illegal. this only applies to POLITICAL blackmail and not joke blackmail (yes frog im lookin at you).

this bill will NOT apply:

to joke situations and "for fun" screenshots (example: frog's blackmail on the discord, or catching soon to be deleted horny messages on the discord)

if the name and profile and any/all identifying information is censored out (like the epstein files, yes)

if it involves something illegal (example: image of banned player confessing to alt usage)

screenshots of other images (example: reaction images)

to screenshots you do NOT plan on sharing back on in TeenGov or any associated sub or discord

to the Minister of Press and all messages in the teengov council voting and regular gc

to the official TeenGov discord/sub as everyone can freely be in it and therefore everyone can already see it.

any information gathered during LEGAL espionage

bill will be implemented immediately

This bill is open to amendment by council.

(EDIT TO LEGAL ESPIONAGE and TO TEENGOV DISCORD AND SUB)

20260220-4 • :3 act • No summary.

 hey so this is to make formal agreements we can have and make it more clear and easy to use. so i propose:

:3 act

proposed by u/Kooky_Marketing_327 of the FUCK party on 02.20.26

    The creation of contracts that can be signed by two or more people/groups:

    These contracts will be legally binding, meaning that breaking the contract may result in legal consequences

    contracts can include mergers, acquisitions, NDAs (non disclosure agreement), partnership contracts, or many other deals.

    2. addition of rules for contracts:

        contracts are not required to be written in full formal language.

        the groups/persons signing and proposing the contract must both completely agree on the terms/language in the contract

        contracts can take place out of SMP, like on discord

        both sides MUST record an unaltered recording of the signing of the contract like on a screenshot or a google doc

        the signer must be aware they are signing a contract for the contract to be legally binding

        to sign a contract, both sides must put their username and acknowledge they are aware it is legally binding and agree to sign the contract

        contracts do NOT have to be made public

        contracts are NOT legally binding if either side is a spy, and that user is in spy mode (actively spying on the other signing party) at the very moment. (example being a spy joining a party discord and having to sign NDA to join discord, that contract is not legally binding)

        if a contract is signed involving illegal activites, that contract is not legally binding (example being NDA to not speak about illegal activity happening)

        the courts get final say and can interpret contracts

    all contracts written before this will remain legally binding as long as both sides knew what they were signing into

    implemented immediately upon passing

open to amendment by council

EDIT: with bobs comment amendment

20260222-0 • Ballot expansion amendment • No summary.

Preface: I have realized that despite a council expansion the number of votes one has in council electons does not, this creates strategic vote risks among other things therefore this will rectify that.

Article 1: At passage the number of votes a citizen has in council elections increases by 1 making one have 4 votes in council elections.

Article 2: By simple majority in council a vote to change the number of votes a citizen has in council electons can be held. This number of council votes annot be less than one third of council size. If a council membership expansion would cause a violation of the previous rule the number of council election votes will automatically expand by enough to follow it.

20260222-1 • The estrogen act • No summary.

The Estrogen Act

This act sees to add a new thing to automod. A meme so to say. The trigger word to trigger the automod rule can be anything the council decides, yet the trigger word must remain hidden from the public to keep it fun and start it randomly. Here is an example rule for it.

    ---
    type: comment 
    moderators_exempt: false 
    title+body (includes-word): ['frog']
    message: | 
    Heheh you've fallen for my trap! >:3c Welcome to the new epidemic of r/TeenGovernment. 
    
    If you fail to participate, you will bring shame onto reddit and all frog kind.
    
    You have been infected. Now make a post saying "say the word frog for a specific reason.", or something similar.
    
    The infection shall spread silently. The only rule is to not spoil the game for others by telling people what saying frog does.
    
     ---

The wording and everything of this automod rule can be changed. However the word cannot be frog as that will ruin it because everyone will know the word.

If this act is passed, the moderators will be required to implement this with the trigger word and message of the Council's choice.

20260224-0 • Privacy protection fix • No summary.

Privacy Protection fix

Preface: Section 3 Article 6 of the Privacy Protection act exempts "to the Minister of Press and all messages in the teengov council voting and regular gc" This wording does 2 things, exempts teengov council voting and regular gc, which is good, and this wording exempts the minister of press from it, which is not stated as only in government chats, as it uses "and" this means minister of press is currently COMPLETELY exempt. They should not be.

Article I: The Minister of press is only exempt as far as it comes to fulfilling their duties as minister of press

Article II: Any screenshots needed to fulfill ones LEGALLY REQUIRED duty in other positions are exempt, as to avoid legal confliction for any other screenshot requiring position that may be made in the future.

Article 5: A public prosecutor will be chosen among the elected prosecutors

Article 6: All legal procedures will be followed until the trial concludes.

20260227-0 • ARPD integration act. • Integrates the ARPD as a government organization.

ARPD integration act

Note: This is quite basic in its current form.

---

Preface: The Accountability, Reproducibility, Persistence, and Documentation organization or commonly **ARPD** has had a long-standing reputation of accurate and recent information on r/Teengovernment for the longest time. Being founded less than 2 weeks after the sub itself was created they've served the community faithfully for most of the subs life at this point. Despite this fact the ARPD has never been officially regulated nor recognized as an official source for information. Therefore- after a poll which the result to whether or not the ARPD should be government-regulated showed favor for regulation as long as it didn't damper the "lawful chaotic" style the ARPD holds to we've decided to set forth the following.

§1 Recognition

The ARPD shall henceforth be considered an official, reputable source for bills, parties, member info, and other important information.

§2 Regulation and duties

§2.1 Government ministers and ministries

(a) The ARPD shall provide active login credentials to view, edit, and update information on any ARPD-run website which is capable of being updated.

(b) The Aforementioned ministers and ministries shall update- when the see fit, persuant information on the ARPD system. exempli gratia: The minister of press whose job pertains to announcing the status of bills may update the ARPD law-tracker when said law is passed.

§2.2 Regulations and restrictions upon the ARPD and its members

(a) No ARPD member shall knowingly take a partisan action in an official capacity.

(b) The ARPD keeps the right to shut down non-critical services in protest of actions it sees as a threat to r/teengovernment itself as long as core information such as Bill information is still accessible.

(d) Existing members of the ARPD at the signing of this bill shall not have to take part in the previous term.

§3 Enforcement
This bill shall go into effect upon passing.

The trial time will be chosen by the defendant and prosecution. From there, a jury will be chosen by a random wheel. ANY judge will spin a wheel of the names of people willing to be jurors. There will be seven jurors, and they are able to serve in later trials if they want. A juror can be rejected by the prosecutor or defendant if they are apprehensive about the juror being biased. Jurors decide whether the defendant is innocent or guilty. The jury will appoint a judge, assuming the judge will be avaliable at the time of the trial. The remaining judges will help direct the trial and suggest sentences, but ultimately the judge chosen will deliver the sentence.

(Sorry if the formatting on this bill isn't ideal. I've never done one of these before)

This bill establishes that:
* At any time during a term, the person holding the government position of president (or another individual assigned by that person) may conduct an approval rating poll for themselves.
* These polls must include, at minimum, three options: one that signifies approval, one that signifies disapproval, and one that signifies a neutral stance.
* These polls may happen at any time during this person's term and the times they're conducted are up to personal preference as long as there are gaps of 2 weeks, specifically 14 days, at minimum between the closing date of each poll before another is conducted.
* These polls must be left open for votes over a period of 3 days or 72 hours.
* There are no legal punishments for failing or choosing against conducting an approval rating poll, however citizens reserve the right to hold their own polls regarding the approval rating of the president if they feel the need.
* If a fair and unbaised approval rating poll determines the president's approval rating is below 30%, the council shall move to hold a vote on whether or not the president should face impeachment.
* If a president is impeached and refuses to step down, they may face criminal punishment.

20260302-2 • General Reform, less clarification, amendment. • A General set of reforms which will aid in clear and stable governance.

General Reform, less clarification, amendment.

Preface: A General set of reforms which will aid in clear and stable governance, is of course up to amendment by council.

Article I: Any form of legal council for someone does not have the same obligation to bring evidence of crime to law (as to preserve attorney client privilege)

Article II: For the specific case of council size limit determination the prior sub size based method will be used. (I have noticed some debate on the exact size so we shall determine that afterwards in a separate proposal)

Article III: It is illegal to remove evidence of a crime, violations shall be considered a high crime.

Article IV: The Minister of Library shall be merged under the Wiki team as with the wiki team there is minimal clear authority for the minister of Library which would not be filled by the Wiki team, we do not need a position to exist at such a level which has no clear job set out for it.

Article V: Any council member who is considered to have a clear “Unique personal conflict of interest” on a proposition cannot make a vote which favors their personal conflict of interest, forced to either abstain (which mathematically reduces the total votes needed, for example if two abstain a 2 out of three voting majority passes something, this in parentheses is an explanation of existing law, not a proposal) or vote against their interest. “Unique personal conflict of interest” is defined as a conflict of interest that is not inherent to simply being in council, is not clearly held by over 2 fifths of the population, is not simply due to one's party, and is not held by a majority of the government.

Article VI: A minister of economics shall be created at the economies release. This minister shall hold authority over the regulation of companies in a similar way to that the minister of political regulations holds. They can also make economic decisions, this is as not everyone in council is a fellow economics nerd and many vote against things they don't understand out of principle, something we should respect. The Minister's decisions on economic policy are able to be overridden by council, and the minister cannot overrule decisions by council, including economic directives for them to carry out. These economic decisions shall initially be taxes and spending, but by majority vote they can be given new authorities. Council can give a broad set of economic principles to be followed if they choose, though if a clear economic crisis occurs said principles can be suspended until council can give new directives.

Article VII: If there is a time where a position has no minister, possibly through resignation, the president can take on authorities of that position until a new minister is appointed. This is so vital government services can continue during such times, and is intended as an emergency stop gap measure.

Article VIII: The Minister of political regulations is abolished and authorities are transferred to census due to rarely being needed and being closely related to the census results (Former minister of political regulations recommendation, due to reddit issues they resigned on discord)

My proposal (that I probably should've submitted back when it was thought of) is a simple limitation on when a crime can still be tried.

\#1: The time limit, if accepted, would be 3 months after the original crime was committed

\#2: This does not extend to crimes committed before this was put into effect

\#3: This right may be revoked for a certain individual if the justices decide upon the crime being so heinous that they must be tried anyway. (This is intended for bullying, harassment, or causing any harm)

\#4: Time spent banned or timed out is not added to the limitation. If you spend a month banned, there is still 3 months that you may be brought to trial. 

This is a very basic summarization on what my idea would be

With the monopoly reg act dead I figured I would take some of the less controversial aspects, change em up a bunch, and make a Labor regulations act. Thanks to froggy for the original idea

  
Article I: All workers are guaranteed some form of compensation for labor

Article II: A minimum wage shall be determined by the economic minister soon after the economies start (FIAT currency having variable value makes setting one rate here difficult)

Article III: There will be regulations set for labor safety and consumer protection by the economy minister which will be in line with the games design to be doable

Article IV: Council can choose to override and alter the economy ministers decisions given in articles II and III

Article V: To prevent massive conflict of interest the economy minister cannot own a company, own part of a company, or be employed outside of the government (the government will likely determine officials wages soon after the economies release, so they will be able to have money without other employment.)

is this something that already exists? if not, is it feasible? 

i was in AP world watching a discussion and that made me think of this since we use the human record books very frequently.

i think it can be made very easily with carrd to have interactive subsections of general history. 

(apologies for any typos, i am typing on phone and since the keyboard is small it is difficult for me to type properly)

could include:

1) history on the first constitution/creation of tg

2) general timeline that would be edited overtime 

3) significant contributions and achievements by members/those who hold government positions. (i think besides campaigns thiso could serve as further reason for someone to vote for a candidate if they like what that candidate contributed)

4) history on the formation of parties and founders 

5) literally anything related to the history that’s significant

This idea is meant to avoid future teen goonerments, or other similar situations.

\#1: A server/gc having teen government members does not make it a teen government channel

\#2: If a channel speaks directly upon events in teen government, it is not considered a teen government channel

\#3: If a channel's main purpose is Teen government-related, it is considered a Teen government server

\#4: Crimes, according to teen government law, cannot be enforced using information found in non teen government servers. Yet, conspiring/threatening to break a law may result in a warning or temporary ban. Information in unrelated servers may be used as a test of character in court, the extent to which this is dependent on the overseeing judge.

\#5: A server will be considered a teen government server if it fits 1 or more of these conditions. 1: The server speaks mostly of teen government, 2: the server is made for teen government purposes, 3: Majority involved agrees upon it being a teen government server 70% up, 4: the server is a government-related server (Court, but in the future more), and 5: If the creator, someone who must be a citizen of teen government, makes that choice. But, all of this may be completely revoked in the circumstance a moderator of the main Discord says so or if removed by trial.

\#6: Prosecution based on evidence found in a non-teen government server shall lead the prosecutor to stand trial for violation of this act.

Entertainment Economy amendment

Preface:  The entertainment amendment would add the concept of entertainment and boredom to the economy, which is a rather entertaining new facet to this in-development economy allowing things like shows, Television, and Resorts to be viable sections of business. As entertainment has a very high demand in the real world, this amendment would attempt to simulate such demand in Bob/Zeedith’s TG economy, 

§1: Entertainment requirement

Article 1: Along with the already written-in requirements such as food, water, and rest, all citizens need to be sufficiently entertained, or risk insanity/several strong debuffs. 

Article 2: With certain items or services offering much more entertainment than others, after a certain point being entertained becomes a direct buff to a citizen’s worker efficiency, and allows them to apply more labor than possible at baseline.

Article 3: Adding to the rest requirement already present, citizens getting routine, and often off-days would add to their worker efficiency, and function the same as a mild entertainment buff. The longer any citizen goes without a break, say a full week, their efficiency and labor will quickly decline, encouraging businesses to give regular breaks to their employees. (This may be already mentioned to an extent in the original economy amendment, or in subsequent acts involving it)

§2: What gives Entertainment

Article 1: Many kinds of Technology would offer more or less entertainment, often more advanced technology is more built for the entertainment then less advanced. For example: a radio would be right near the start of an entertainment section of the tech tree if economic developers decide to make one. A radio would be simple, accessible relatively early, be cheap, and offer a fair amount of entertainment, thus making a radio a viable long-term option for a Business, or citizen. While something like a Box Television would be much higher on the tech tree, be more expensive, but offer a lot of entertainment, which alone makes them viable. (This article is up to the interpretation of the dev team, what is given here are only examples of how items could work, a radio might end up working differently in the economy, depending on what the developers deem suited for the economy)

Article 2: Places such as Resorts, fancy restaurants, parks, or public attractions would offer a lot of entertainment, opening up opportunities for Zoos, Theme parks, Hotels, ect. 


Thank you for reading, TRUST US with your Entertainment!

Section 1: A new section is to be added to the judiciary. This section will be called depositions

Article 1: All lawyers may issue depositions for all witnesses.

Article 2: Depositions are legally courtrooms, and all rules are applied

Article 3: Witnesses have the right to have counsel with them when the deposition happens

Article 4: Depositions are exempt from all laws; past and previous, that involve screenshots

Article 5: Depositions are automatically admitted during trial

Section 2: Pre-Trial Matters

Article 1: All pre-trial matters are subject to the RoE.

Article 2: Pre-Trial matters may only concern these things,

* Evidence automatically admitted
* objection arguments being held at constructive sidebars

Section 3: Addendums to the RoE (Rules of Evidence)

1-10 are already law

11: All depositions are automatically admitted before trial

12: All relevant statements about the crime are automatically exempt from Hearsay objections

Section 4: Exceptions to Hearsay objections.

Article 1: Hearsay Objections

* **Present Sense Impression**. A statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made while or immediately after the declarant perceived it.

* **Then-Existing Mental, Emotional, or Physical Condition**. A statement of the declarant’s then-existing state of mind (such as motive, intent, or plan) or emotional, sensory, or physical condition (such as mental feeling, pain, or bodily health), but not including a statement of memory or belief to prove the fact remembered or believed unless it relates to the validity or terms of the declarant’s will.'

* **Recorded Recollection**. A record that:

(A) is on a matter the witness once knew about but now cannot recall well enough to testify fully and accurately;

(B) was made or adopted by the witness when the matter was fresh in the witness’s memory; and

Article 2: Exceptions to Speculation Objections

* State of Mind: While guessing another's thoughts is speculation, a witness can describe actions or statements that allow the jury to infer a state of mind.

Section 5: New Objections

* Calls for Hearsay. A "calls for hearsay" objection is raised when a lawyer asks a witness to testify about a statement made outside of court to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Such testimony is generally inadmissible because the original speaker cannot be cross-examined. E G: "What did he tell you?" or "What did the letter say?

* Speculative: The witness is speculating

Section 6: Rationally based perception. Rationally Based Perception allows witnesses to offer opinions or inferences grounded in their own sensory experiences (seeing, hearing, touching) rather than specialized expertise.

The idea behind this is a simple database that records the crimes a user has committed.

Created mostly for the upcoming arc trial, the upcoming economy, and further scenarios the future may hold.

\#1: A new section shall be added to the wiki where this shall be recorded if passed.

\#2: When a user is found guilty of a crime, their name and crime shall be recorded in the wikipedia.

\#3: If the user owns a important users page their crime must be stated on that page.

\#4: Discrimination caused by a crime would at first give a warning, and if extreme would give a rule 1 violation

\#5: Victim names will not be placed in these records without the consent of the victims. If there are none then this rule is naught.

\#6: A crime can only be something that a court decides you guilty of, not a moderator, MET, or any other position of power.

\#7: In the case the criminal has D.I.D, only the alter responsible shall be named, this is also what happens in the case of multiple people using the same account.

Summary: Justices may grant a convict the punishment of "community service" instead of a pure ban.

\#1: This may only occur for minor crimes (ex: it cannot be for bullying, harassment, doxing, NSFW posts, fraud, personal attacks, threats, or the breaking of another user's human rights).

\#2: The justices, if they see fit, may lower or completely remove a sentence if they settle upon 'community service'. This requires a 2/3 Majority approval rate or above, rounded down, in a vote between justices.

\#3: Community service may include the following. 1: Updating wiki pages (if a user inputs invalid information or spam in the wiki pages, they will lose this privilege and return to trial for resentencing. Updating a wiki article is only available for articles that the ministry of documentation has specifically marked; if none are available, then this segment is to be ignored.). 2: Unpaid labor in objectively community assisting companies (Registered Non-Governmental Organizations, yet the justices are up to deciding the location, it cannot be a government-run organization)

\#4: This proposition would also force the responsibility of ensuring the convict serves their sentence to a prison guard, the one being decided among the online justices. Failure to ensure the sentence is done will result on the very guard being placed on trial on whether they shall remain in their position.

\#5: After 2 entire days on the dot (48 hours) if the sentence has yet to see any significant progress, the convict is to be resentenced in court for their original ban. Significant progress is up to the presiding guard, but may be overturned by the justices on a unanimous decision.

\#6: A convict may always deny community service, a decision which may not be overturned by a justice, and in this circumstance, they must be issued a normal sentencing. Once given, the convict may not request community service, losing this privilege.

\#7: A convict may only be punished to a community service sentence that could be completed in a reasonable time. A sentence that would require a convict to spend more than an hour a day would be deemed excessive punishment.

\#8: A sentence's time limit is to be decided upon by the justices on a 2/3 vote.

\#9: This is considered to be a voluntary alternative to incarceration. All community service is seen as consented to and not falling under any forced labor/slavery legal issues. Refusal to perform community service is completely up to the convict and their legal right.

\#10: Serving community service should be recorded, as well as falling under the Criminal Records Act. Definitions: A sentencing that may fall under community service is as follows \*Non-malicious spam (Minimum of 20 messages a minute, but less than 30) \*Incorrect flairing \*Slightly offensive humor (Up to the offended party, but if it is to the point of racial, religious, or discriminatory, it immediately breaks rule 1 and cannot be considered as this point \*undisclosed Alt use (if the alt is used for election fraud, this is considered null)

\- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Definitions: A sentencing that may fall under community service is as follows

\*Non-malicious spam (Minimum of 20 messages a minute, but less than 30)

\*Incorrect flairing. (the only situation in which incorrect flairing could lead to community service is repeated offenses, repeated offenses being a minimum of 3 incorrect post flairing, this count being reset every 2 months)

\*undisclosed Alt use (if the alt is used for election fraud, this is considered null, and another sentence must be given)

Preface: Since [the Unique Bill Identifier bill](https://tg.zerr.cc/bills/view?bid=20260212-1) was vetoed and there is still no mechanism in place for this I thought I'd propose a simpler but equally reliable mechanism for one of the problem that bill addressed- amending a bill/proposition after it has been posted. While the UBIB would've addressed this by incrementing the Bill ID if it's amendmended and requiring it be reposted as to the original edited, this bill seeks to solve the issue with a simpler solution.

§1 Terms

§1.1: All changes to a bill made after proposition must be clearly stated in a footnote stating what was changed and optionally for what reason. This is to prevent someone from creating a simple, useful bill, getting positive and/or supportive comments, then modifying it to mock support for a disliked proposition.

§1.2: Footnotes are not required for the following:

(a): Changes that do not affect the meaning, e.g. spelling fixes.

(b): Clarifications or rewordings that clarify an existing rule.

(c): Reformatting or otherwise changing the structure without modifying the meaning.

§1.3: A bill post must not be significantly or meaningfully modified after it has been passed by council. This is to avoid confusion on what rules are in affect/actually passed. Exception: If council modifies a bill before passing it the original post may be modified to reflect the updated version.

§2 Enforcement

§2.1: Any bills in breach of the listed terms shall be considered a breach of the law and a potentially bannable offense.

§2.2: This bill shall go into affect upon passing.

Preface:  Section XI article II of the constitution states "Users must alert a mod or the President when their alt account is in use." This was not overruled by the espionage act so they had to report to *both* minister of Library as well as either a mod or president, as it turns out, spys did not realize they must do the second part. As section XI violations are a high crime everyone who knows someone is a spy and knows this information about the law is obligated to report them. However, once this passes that shall be no longer as they will retroactively be made non criminal, and ideally this occurs before the spys are sentenced after being reported. which is almost certain.

Article I: All spys who registered to the Minister of Library (who is now a position under the Wiki team and not *technically* a minister but still does all the same things and has minister in the title) And who did not register their alt with a mod or president, are now considered to not be criminals under unconstitutional alt use if that was done before the passage of this amendment.
