| Message | Article 1 keeps foreign countries from stealing the fruit of the Indralan people's labor. Article 2 ensures that workers do not lose their jobs due to the incompetence of their private managers and also ensures that Indrala does not become dependent on foreign countries for vital goods and services. This is a particular danger due to our policies of combined free trade and high wages, the second of which is a good idea. Article 3 ensures that all Indralans, regardless of their majority or minority status, are entitled to an equal opportunity to work based their own individual qualifications. Article 4 ensures that small-scale Indralan farmers are not driven out of business by vast corporate farms.. |
