The Bucket Affair

The Bucket Affair refers to a series of events related to the purchase 50 buckets in the "Naples Pace Expansion Act", a bill passed the Social Democratic Party led government on May 2nd, 2022, during the 75th Government. In the following days since the passage of the bill, some members of the server started mocking the bill, and its author bossmansoldier for how unnecessary and pointless the bill was. The Bucket Affair is considered to be a meta-event as it had no impact on the simulation, except a few mentions in the halls of the National Assembly.
==Backround==
The "Naples Pace Expansion Act" was proposed to the National Assembly on 1st of May 2022 at 9:16 PM CET, by the Prime Minister bossmansoldier. The purpose of the act was to buy more equipment for the state-owned construction company Naples Pace LLC, so that construction can be started on projects more faster. The equipment which was supposed to be purchased included for example 50 full size excavators, 50 wheel loaders and others, for a total cost of 735 million ARL, funded by the Ministry of Infrastructure & Energy.
The bill passed with 35 votes in favor, 2 votes against and 3 members of the National Assembly abstained. The only Members of the National assembly who downvoted the Acy were Independent MNAs from Lavanda Islands: Shennogo and Daniel Index.
The bill was quickly met with criticism, saying that purchasing equipment such as 50 hammers or 50 buckets is totally unnecessary and doesn't fix anything.
==The affair==
On May 3rd, one day after the bill officially passed, Prime Minister bossmansoldier was questioned by hejehog, Assembly Member for the Liberal Democrats on why was he proposing a 70% deflation on the Adorian Lira over the period of three years. Before bossman could anwer, the deceased Prime Minister Based Autocrat would join the debate, saying that th SDP saved the economy by purchasing 50 buckets.
Shortly after that, several other people joined in the mockery of the bill, most notably Sinpar, Bjorn, Mikoyan, MILFpatrol and Yannick. Even server owner Matthew V joined the joke in his own way, posting an image of from the wikipedia page of the Bucket War, saying that thats how the National Assembly looks like whenever CSM and SDP are in it at the same time.
However a few days later, May 6th, Matthew would would jokingly say that "Next person to ask me about buckets gets muted" as Based Autocrat demanded that he allows him to create a bucket focused event. Matthew then proceeded to mute Based Autocrat for 30 minutes for mentioning buckets in the chat, though he kept his moderator role, allowing him to speak in events news channel, where Based Autocrat posted the bucket event titled "Adorian Economy booms thanks to 50 buckets", which stated that Adorian economy soared thanks to the purchase of 50 buckets.
On May 7th, Sinpar and Yannick would author a bill titled simply "Bucket Act" which would declare buckets as a national symbol of Adoria, as well as declaring first of May as "Bucket day", with customs such as:
*bucket worship,
*bucket wearing,
*plastic bucket eating.
The bill was however never proposed to the national Assembly, therefore it was never voted on.
==The aftermath==
After Based Autocrat posted the event, he was muted for 24 hours and his event was deleted by Matthew, as Matthew never approved of the event.
