Message | CCU believes this to be an extremely flawed piece of legislation. We oppose, strongly. The power of local governments need not be stripped away and our nation (and Terra) should be doing everything in our political power to ensure a clean environment for future generations. It is a sacred duty. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
