| Message | This bill does not allow Jakania to impose ANY tariffs on nations even if that nation is partaking in illegal activity. While the M.R.P. supports free trade with selective nations, it does not support a COMPLETELY open policy. |

| Random quote: "The problem is big government. If whoever controls government can impose his way upon you, you have to fight constantly to prevent the control from being harmful. With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm." - Harry Browne |
