Announcement from the Speaker:

Two changes have recently been made to BlogNomic.

First, with the passage of Our Glorious Past, I took the time to set up another blog. The link is on the sidebar at the bottom of the Imperial History. I haven't had time to post anything yet, but if anyone wishes to make a historic reference and/or become an admin there, just e-mail me at the address on the sidebar, or comment here.

Second, with the passage of Taxes and Returns and Government Spending, we need some budget plans and planetary priorities. I'll put possible planetary preferences in the GNDT (CFJ if you wish - it's not in the ruleset, but that's the only official "description" of any planets) so you can choose them. Also, start submitting budget proposals; I'll put the first group up for vote at the end of next week. Either propose them here in the comments, or e-mail them to me. If there are any questions about tax payoffs, I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.

Try to be creative on the budget proposals, instead of just proposing your own preferences, okay? I won't choose my planetary preferences for a while, and unless somebody else submits my preferences as a possible budget, it won't be an option.
