Bessarian Regency Committee
Voted March 12, 2023
Abstain

“While the Regency Committee is fully committed to the abolition of sex work and the distribution of inappropriate paraphernalia across the greater Bessarion nation, the destitute and poorer citizens of Bessaria should not be left to fend for themselves, as a government- indeed, a Sovereign's- first and foremost duty is to its and his or her own citizens.”
