39RZ7 - The Domesday Act
WHEREAS it is entirely in the best interest of the nation's people to know themselves, as admonished by the temple of Apollo at Delphi, and
WHEREAS this will yield not just interesting information about the character of our nation, but also useful knowledge that we might use to better tailor our recruiting processes, and
WHEREAS there have been a variety of attempted censuses in the past, achieving results that have been negligible at best, and
WHEREAS if something is worth doing, it is worth doing properly, and
WHEREAS the last time this bill was up for a vote, it was shot down with the objection that legislation wasn't needed to make this happen, and
WHEREAS almost a year later it still hasn't happened,
THEREFORE the Ziu hereby directs the Secretary of State of the Kingdom of Talossa to take whatever steps he deems necessary to conduct a census of all the citizens of Talossa, including whatever extraordinary degree of delegation that will be required before he finds someone to do it, and compile, to the best of his ability, information about the demographics of our country including age, sex, how they found out about Talossa originally, their level of involvement and amount of activity in Talossa. The Secretary of State is directed to release only the aggregate information in a format easy to manipulate to yield useful statistics, rather than individual results, so as to preserve the privacy of our citizenry. This census is to take place as soon as possible, and within a reasonable timeframe, and to be reported back to this body when complete. This is not a continuing measure.
