The countries of Varelix (Per. 2), Krypton (Per. 4), and Mellowmania (Per. 6), have diligently been working to write bills that can be passed into concrete laws to govern their class accordingly. Each country is working toward the goal of going to Epcot; in order to attain that prize, they must be the top earners of "mula dollars." After considering the needs of their class they've creatively written bills to increase revenue of mula dollars, levy taxes on individual participation logs, and have written plans on how to spend their money. Each class can spend their money on a range of items to build up their country's power. These items range from electricity and schools, to military personnel and nuclear weapons. After each student drafted their own bill, the countries broke off into committees to review the bills. Then the bills that were approved in the committees were submitted to the floor for discussion and subjected to a majority vote. The president of each country then decides whether or not to sign the bill into law. So far the countries have passed excellent laws that will only strengthen their morale and strategy to get to Epcot. May the best country win!
