Chapter 106 Baymard's Policies 2
n
n
nOnce they were done with the Benefit sector, they began talking about 'Citizenship & Immigration.
n
"Your majesty.... Under the sector called 'Citizenship and Immigration', I think that we should reduce the number of days that visitors were allowed to stay in Baymard.
" Nicolas said.
n
"I agree your majesty.... Instead of 3 months (90 days), let's make it 2 months.
" Benazir suggested.
n
"I propose that we make it 1 month
" Craig said.
nUnder the citizenship & Immigration sector, Landon had made different rules for citizens, permanent residences, international students, visitors, and refugees.
nHe had also detailly explained how those who weren't citizens, could become one.
nIn future, Landon would allow people to come and study in Baymard.. but they wouldn't be allowed to work here at all.
nHe would only provide education, and once they were done.. they had to leave the Baymard.
nThese were dark times, empires were at war with each other, and everyone wanted power.... how could he give his future enemies the chance to attack him?
nTsk!!, wasn't that stupidity?
nIf it were back on earth, Landon would have no problem letting international students work in his industries, hospitals or even join his military... but the times were different.
nHe could only give them education, and that was it!!..... And during the long holidays, they were to go back home to their empire.
nAfter all knowledge was, and will always be a human necessity for development.
nBack on earth, Landon had been taught that basic knowledge should be free for all.... Of course, being free doesnt mean that they wont pay their tuition.
nHe could educate them, but it was what they did with all the acquired knowledge that made a difference.
nIf Landon didn't give a detailed description of all industry processes to the men in Baymard, he was sure that they would still be experimenting each production process for each product for at least 5 years.
nBack on earth, even when the first printing press was invented, it took another 40 years for mankind to improve that same printing press..bruhhh.
nSo with education, he would let the international students get basic and intermediary knowledge.
nBut the deep descriptions taught in the academies, and industries were strictly off limits to them.
nHe would teach and show them that chemical 'x' is poisonous and chemical 'y' is toxic...but if they wanted to create their own goods like ink, they had to go back to their empires and combine what they thought were the raw materials, with chemicals that they felt would aid in creating ink.
nIt was their job to experiment back in their own empires.
nThere was no way that they would get everything right without a detail description.
nThere were different reactions, catalysts, additives, and chemicals that did several things during production.
nAnd some of the main raw materials and components had to be taken from refined crude oil and other separate chemicals.
nSo Landon was very sure that even if they mastered the entire periodic table and knew about reactions and Isotopes, they would still need several years to get to where Baymard was presently at.
nOf course in their Chemistry classes, they would do basic laboratory experiments, but nothing that would reveal Baymard's industrial secrets.
nPlease!!..... if it were that easy, then all undergraduate students back on earth would have their own mini industries on the side, as well as cosmetic and other brand companies.
nIf were that easy, then everyone would also be able to produce medical drugs and other goods.
nWithout the detailed description, one would need to research for several years.
n
n
nBack on earth, companies would usually send their workers to other companies... They had exchange programs and intenships, so that their workers could learn the industry secrets from their conpetitors...it was generally allowed because earth was somewhat peaceful.
nBut in these times, Nahhhh!!.. for safety reasons, Landon didn't want them to work at the industries at all.
nIn future maybe, but right now it was a definite NO.
nBack to the matter of stays, the international students would get study permits while they studied in Baymard.
nIf they really wanted to work, then they were only allowed to do so at stores, restaurants or hotels during their short breaks. (Of course during the 4 month long break they had to leave).
nIn fact they would only work in places that didn't have industry or work secrets..
nSo basically, they couldn't work in the military and lower region.
nThey could work within the coastal and central districts, as well as some parts of the upper region.
nBut Landon could allow them to tour the industries with an tour access pass.
nThey would be led by a tour guide of course, and their tours would only take at most a few hours.
nOn the other hand, 'Visitors' were those that would come for trade, enjoyment, or even those who came to treat their illnesses.
nLandon wanted the maximum stay for visitors to be 3 months.
nIf they had a serious illness that needed surgery and 2 months of constant medical care, then they would get 3 months stamped on their tiny Visa booklets.
nBut if they came for a 1 week Vacation, Landon would give them 2 weeks on their Visa.
nAt the end of their stay if they were still within Baymard, they would be caught and banned from ever entering Baymard again.
nAnd if anyone needed an extension, they had to go to the main office and state their reasons... As well as bring evidence to support their claim.
nIf the officers in charge deemed the evidence to be tangible, then their request would be approved.
nAfter Landon explained his reasons for having a maximum duration of 3 month for visitation, the 3 officials thoroughly understood and agreed on Landon's point.
nAfter all, it wasn't fair to let the sick or those in need of medical attention suffer just because of their policies.
n.
nUp next, they looked at the criminal justice sector.
nThis sector aimed at victim rights, women rights, family violence, criminal conviction, human trafficking, rape, cannibalism, fraud and so on.
nThey also addressed the marital sector, which looked at the minimum marriage age, child support, abuse & neglect, spousal support, divorce, and separation laws.
nFrom the written laws, it was a crime to not provide food, schooling, housing and clothing to children under the age of 15... After all 15, in this era was already considered to be an adult.
nIf a family couldn't provide for their children, then they could apply for student loans, health loans, and so on.
nAlso hitting a child, emotionally harming children, forcing marriage on children, sexually abusing them were all major crimes.
nAlthough 10 year old children were abused and used as sex slaves in this era, Landon was thoroughly disgusted with the idea.
nThose citizens or refugees that were caught doing these would be locked up in prison for at least 10 years.
nAnd if it were visitors or international students, then they would be beaten up and permanently refused access into Baymard for the rest of their lives.
nObviously, in the future once the roads were all done and cars were made available, Landon would also add traffic and driving laws.
nAs they looked at the court and justice rules and systems, Landon quickly realised that he needed to build an impenetrable prison for criminals.
nAny spy, enemy or even criminal within the society, needed to be kept in this prison.
nIn future, he would also need to make prisoner rights and so on.
nYes the prisoners had rights too.. like their visitation rights, phone call rights, basic food rights, lawyer rights and so on...
nSigh.. they was just to much to improve on.
nAs the meeting progressed, they successfully went through several different sectors like federal land acquisition for businesses, sports, and medical policies.
nAnd finally, concluded with Taxes... Which involved: income taxes, payroll and many more.
n8 hours had gone by, with them taking two 10 minute breaks and a 40 minute lunch break within the meeting.
n
n
nOnce Chief Tim successfully created the printing Press, they would start making Identity cards for the citizens.
nHence at the end of their meeting, Landon quickly reminded them to start collecting all information about the citizens such as age, date of birth, marriage status and so on.
nAs well as to also get a population census done as soon as possible.
nThey had also agreed that every year, they would improve and update the policies as time went on.
nPlus if the people gave feedback on Baymard's rules, policies and regulations, then they would reflect on them and might even add them to the policies.
nBut they would not approve rules that promoted violence, went against morality, or the peoples needsand income. As well as the development of Baymard.
n.
nIt was only 5 P.M, so Landon decided to head on over to the food industry and aid in planting and transportating medicinal herbs from the farms, to the greenhouse.
nAs a king, his work never stopped.
