| Message | Ideally we would like to never have to use these weapons, but in this world we must be prepared for war, if not to actually defend ourselves or to just have the fear of our weapons deter aggressive nations from attacking us. We cannot support this bill as it hampers our ability to fight the enemy more efficiently than they fight us. Note: Nobody likes war, but we must be prepared to fight it as efficiently as possible if it does break out. Aloria has been at a relative peace for years and we do not see that changing. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
