Message | OOC: There is a difference between a motto including freedom in it and a motto stating Dorvik is for freedom. Thus it implys that Dorvik has no freedom but desires freedom in other nations. Tricky, no? |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
