| Message | So by passing an exam you should be treated as hobrazians with right to our social health system, integration start fees, child benefit etc? And furthermore enjoy the right to vote? We certainly need a test to declare whether the immigrants/refugees are interested in staying here and not just use our system! Therefore these meassures help to seperate the through immigrants from the ones only interested in money and wellfare. Also should the right to vote only come when an immigrant has been in our nation for a long period and passed a citizenship test. |

| Message | That is the test you already to become a hobrazian national. Another test to get the rights of hobrazian citizenship is a bridge too far |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
