| Message | Excuse me, comrade, but it appears to us that you may dislike communism. We feel obligated to inform you that we the Aldurian Communist Party are NOT in any way like the "communist" governments of the Soviet Union or China. We believe that the actions of those governments were deplorable, and not in any way conforming to the true tenets of communism. We wish simply to protect the rights and livelihoods of the common people of the Aldurian Republic, and harbor no dictatorial aspirations whatsoever. |

| Message | My apologies, as no offence was meant by the above statement. On the other hand, it is clear that the Communists have proposed what we termed to be "reasonable actions", which we mean in the highest regard. The Moderates look forward to working with the Communist Party in the future. |

| 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. |
