| Message | What has? The notion that a government agency should define truth? Or are you claiming the definition of a falsehood is something that has been proven to be false? So then, what is false? If I want to print that I created the universe five minutes ago and everything you remember was planted in your memory by me and therefore I should be worshipped as a god, how can you prove that false? |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
