| Message | We oppose this. Taking away freedom of choice from our people is something we are vehemently opposed to. We do, however, support a strong military, and we're pretty much the reason our military budget is so monstrously huge. A large portion of this budget most likely goes to recruitment. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I hear rumours that between our high budget and our large population, we already have one of the larger armed forces in Terra, making such conscription trebly unnecessary. |

| Message | Thanks for that. Just some info: According to the forum rules regarding military size, we're allowed a military of 7.7 million or so, which is a lot more than we have at the moment - I'm appreciative of the large budget too. If everyone else opposes it, I'll scrap it, but I'll wait for more responses. |

| Message | We support a strong military also, but we cannot support this. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
