Proposal: Ministry of Love

No, this is not a new location proposal.

Since we now have some location specialization it would be neat to have some alternative punishments, hence

enact a rule called "Ministry of Love" that states:

When a citizen is liable to be fined a quantity of five (5) credits or more they may instead be sent to the Hospital for "correction" by their prosecutor (only a non-hospitalized, government official may hospitalize a citizen in lieu of fining them). There they must stay for 36 hours. Within that first 36 hour period the Emperor may:

a) name a sentence for the hospitalized citizen not to exceed 72 hours
b) fail to name a sentence, and therefore the sentence will default to 36 hours
c) "pardon" the hospitalized citizen by removing them himself at anytime, regardless of the 36 hour minimum

However, after the Emperor's sentence hours have passed, the "corrected" citizen may not let themselves out (rule # 21) but rather each government official shall suffer a fine of two (2) credits per citizen in the hospital per 24 hour period exceeding the aforementioned 36 hours.

Additionally, the fine for falsely hospitalizing a citizen or prematurely removing a citizen before they have been "corrected" is five (5) credits.

No one may be hospitalized for a failed proposal.
