Earth Prosperity Initiative

The Earth Prosperity Initiative was a law passed by World Congress simultaneously with the Consortium's entry into the Solar War. A lengthy prologue described the Consortium's grievances against the Protectorate and justification for entering the war. It contains provisions for global rationing for the duration of the war, though this rationing did not affect basic utilities or foodstuffs for Consortium citizens. It also legalizes a pan-Consortium military and issues a call for volunteers; conscription was legalized, though it was never enforced, as every Consortium participant in the war was a volunteer. Finally, it nationalized all imports from any non-Consortium system and made it illegal for private citizens to possess goods made outside of the Consortium unless they could prove they had acquired it prior to the war.
