| Message | Our economy will drop, as well as our defense line, which will become much weaker. This nation has a strong military on command and we prefer that it should be kept that way, although banning the use of nuclear weaponry will have a positive effect, although again, this should become an international treaty in order for it to be completely useful and practical. I see that RGP has supported this bill because they follow their ideologies, and i admire them for that, since they are trying to help this nation, but i would like to tell them to think of the later consequences in other areas that will certainly not benefit from this move. |

| 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. |
