| Message | Oh boo hoo. It's called capitalism. The poor farmers are subsidized and have most of their needs addressed by the state safety net anyway. If what they're doing isn't profitable, they can switch over to a new career. It's that simple. |

| Random fact: "Treaty-locking", or ratifiying treaties that completely or nearly completely forbid any proposals to change laws, is not allowed. Amongst other possible sanctions, Moderation reserves the discretion to delete treaties and/or subject parties to a seat reset if this is necessary in order to reverse a treaty-lock situation. |
