| Message | We need to balance the cut of corporation tax from 49% to whatever I changed it too. We're currently running a deficit until a budget cut or a tax hike. I propose raising luxury tax and cutting the overall budget, but increasing education and health. |

| Message | We can just cut the deficit amount from office of Head of State and that should solve the problem. We could also shift 30 billons from foregin affairs to education, as we find it crucial for our society. However, we do not agree to raise amounts of money spent on social services as our image of state is different. |

| Message | I don't know about Head of Government. All of the other parties here seem to have a fetish about pumping it full of money. All the Prime Minister needs is an office, secretary, transport and a few perks. He doesn't fund anything important himself. That's why we have Ministries. I suppose we could transfer from foreign to education. But we do find health important too. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
