The council debated, this act was supposed to be public months ago but disagreement always arose at some time even during the finalization process. It was a bill that no one could quite agree on, threatening Itheraen industry in order to stave off debt. Sure, the government had sold land they could not colonize, but that money would not last forever, especially with the deficit the country had. Thus, ideas had arisen to the ‘Company Tax’ which allowed the government to tax businesses small or large on a portion of their profits. It was a controversial act, big businesses wanted nothing to do with it and neither would small businesses who barely made enough money to get by themselves. The act also faced cancellation when thoughts of it violating Itheraen rights came into the stand, forcing Alexi and his cabinet to amend it for the twenty-fifth time in a month.

However, the storm seemed to calm as the politicians seemed to have the same enthusiasm over the bill as the president, simply done with the arguments on what the papers say. Agreement came over them, a rare occurrence for such a bill that has caused such strife within the Itheraen government. Thusly, the bill eventually became finalized and released, incorporated into the Itheraen law and with an effective administration to back it. The finalization was a relief to all, life able to continue without much of a hitch, granted arguments over future acts would be inevitable for that was just how democracy worked, everyone had an opinion. Yet, the fledgling republic would continue to grow, with or without the consent of the bills the government passed.
