National Legislature passes "Economic Preservation Act"

Lawmakers in the National Legislature passed the "Economic Preservation Act" with a sweeping majority today, paving the way for the government to take further action to preserve the economy amid a growing recession. The recession, caused by the misguided policies of the Liberal Democratic Party, is something that the government has continued to struggle with. They have deepened trade connections with Svarna and Ishnalla, along with other countries that are truly friendly to Akitsu, but that has only done so much to lessen the impact.

This act would help to further lessen the impact of the recession by criminalizing a variety of acts that cause harm to the economy. This includes a variety of acts, including what the legislature called economic terrorism. These acts previously were legal in Akitsu, and were the cause of a lot of economic disturbance under the watch of the Liberal Democratic Party.

All parties in government voted in favor of the act, with the exception of every lawmaker from the Justice Party.

While this act is unlikely to reverse the current economic trend, it will likely do much to improve the long-term economic situation in Akitsu.
