| Message | Actually, considering that all corporations are presently run by DWC's (as they should be), Article 1 seems unnecessarily punative. No reason to destroy the cooperatives so badly. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
