| Date | 05:21:41, March 07, 2007 CET | From | Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Balanced Buget Bill |
| Message | This bill poses substantial problems. Firstly, during war-time, it may be necessary to run deficits for a short period of time. Secondly, in an economic downturn - which would reduce government revenues - this bill would force the government to reduce spending or raise taxes - worsening the recession. The imperialist party opposes this measure. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
