| Message | The entire idea of setting up a company is to make a profit, which fuels the economy through further investment (if our policies would encourage expansion), and everyone's standard of living rises. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
