Message | This is not about oppression. Article II - people that are not citizens are not strictly able to be oppressed by a government. Allowing everybody citizenship will be damaging. Article III - Giving this power to an impartial monarch is not oppression. Indeed, it stops oppression and party politics taking over. Article V - would you really want a country that has a terrible human rights history to be allowed to establish an embassy here? No. Article VI - so refugees that aren't really refugees should be allowed. Stupid. |

Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
