Vástos Straight Infrastructure Project

The **Vástos Straight Infrastructure Project** (Law 102) is a law to fund a tunnel connecting Vástos, Aklanos in the Synaro Peninsula to Galilei, Lavanda Islands, and a highway from Galilei to Ador, Mediterraneo.

## History

The legislation for the Vástos Straight Infrastructure Project was introduced into the 42nd Adorian National Assembly on 27 January 2021.

“I'd propose a budget but... i cant because no government `:pain:`,“ Nicholas Fofi (GP) announced in his capacity as caretaker head of the Ministry of Finance. “I can however use the old budget their unused cash ,“ he said in an announcement that came shortly thereafter. “Anyone wanna sign?“

“Title misspells "Strait". This queer erasure cannot stand,” Nems (AWP) pointed out in jest on the Assembly floor.

ZeroEx (SDP) cosponsored the bill while it was on the floor. Attica Barres (ND) announced he would sign, but his name would not appear on the bill.

The bill was sent to the Adorian National Assembly's main voting chamber just an hour after it was presented by Mr. Fofi. It got 31 👍, 3 👎 and 2 ✋.

It was listed as passed legislation on 31 January 2021.

ADORIAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

27th of January 2021
### Vástos Straight Infrastructure Project

#### PREAMBLE

For many years now the people of Adoria have lived separately from each other, the islands disconnected with only a few unofficial ferries here and there. This bill is set to change it all.
After extensive research, an official ferry connection did not seem viable between Vástos - Lavanda - Castilleto, CO² pollution would be 4.704kg per trip per ferry and take 3 hours and 20 minutes. A combination like the Øresund Bridge is going to be used as our example. A rail-road combination to connect the 3 main regions is seen as the ideal option and would make travel time 60 minutes by car and 20min by train. It would take 425 cars before you had 1 ferry, while most ferries cannot carry that many cars.
*[27th of January 2021]*

Be it hereby enacted by the National Assembly, by and with the advice and consent of the People, the Speaker of the Assembly and this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows–
