however the point of this story is there's no actual money involved. The whole system of incentives, rewards and such is entirely simulated. None of this is real.

What is "actual money"? Small bits of paper with pictures of dead men on them? And this is more valuable than bits in a computer...how?

Money is whatever we want to call it. It's real because we trust it.

There is already the Parliament Act that can be used to force laws through, which was used recently for the hunting bill. " The original coverage is a bit old but the bill is still being tossed around in parliament. The text of the bill is also available via the UK Parliament website.
