| Message | This will finalize the wealth redistribution in Telamon. The extra money from the new income tax proposal will be split between the departments of Health and Social Services and Internal Affairs. To guard against counter-revolution, the defence budget has been doubled and the justice budget has been increased by 33%. Finally, to ingrain this economic equality into soceity, the education and culture budget has been increased by 33% as well. This is a monumental event in the history of Telamon, as this will effectively create, ecnomincally, a classless soceity. Update: This budget provides for a defence budget comprable to that of Hutori. |

| Message | You spending increase goes over the income. We need to have a balence budget. |
| Date | 02:20:37, April 22, 2007 CET | From | Marxist Peoples Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of October 2392 |
| Message | with the new income tax bill we will be under budget |
| Date | 08:55:21, April 22, 2007 CET | From | Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of October 2392 |
| Message | Other parties must realize that if they vote against this bill, we will lose the war. Hutori spends 20,000,000,000 on its military, and has a war-god as its defence minister - we need to assemble a force that can stand up to them. If you vote 'no' because of petty concerns about balancing the budget, you'll be balancing budgets in a Hutori POW camp. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
