| Message | How can we deprive potentially brilliant citizens to develop end educate themselves to the greater good of our country just because they do not have enough money? If we can provide the basic education it will be easier for our entrepreneurs, businessmen and scientists to spot great talent en subsequently invest in it. This will only favor the progress of our country. Surely you can't be opposed to that? |

| Message | We are now a federal government and the Alliance believes that not only is it an individuals choice to go to school but it is also the choice of the local governments to be determining compulsory schooling. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. 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. |
