| Message | OOC: It is bad Particracy form to make references to RL entities in a bill description, as much as we understand you were making a parallel, because these entities would be not be referred to by a Terran politicians because in this world they don't exist! It's understandable, but please bear in it mind :) |

| 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. |
