Date | 13:38:15, September 09, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Epicurean Party | To | Debating the Concerning Foreigners |
Message | Much as the Fascist Front would like to sow doubt about the veracity of the CWF's claims, we would like to remind the Assembly that they have a believable basis. Rutania has a long-lasting tradition of open borders, which the Capitalist Working Families have helped to maintain. And as the party with the longest tenure in this legislature, they are in the best position to have observed the results of this policy. For our own part, the Neo-Epicurean Party supports open travel both into and out of our nation. |

Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
