Description[?]:
| "Any enlightened nation does not undertake the schizophrenic and paranoid policy of shutting its doors to the clamoring masses aspiring for freedom. We can grant it to them, give them a live as yet impossible, and expand our economy through an influx of willing workers. If we do not open our gates to these masses they will break them down and destroy us. We will grow or we will die. Vote with your financial and social conscience, and thank you for your time." Daniel Vladimirovich Feterokov, in the proposition speech to the National Directory |

| Message | "Of course the larger labor pool, the better. However, this will only turn Zardugal into a massive welfare state whose economy will eventually implode on itself. Allowing all refugees to come here but with no integration aid will allow for a larger pool of labor, therefore an expansion of the economy, without forcing Zardugali taxpayers to integrate immigrants into the country." ~Ruben Memorial, Shadow Minister of Foreign Affairs |

| Random quote: "The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles." - Ayn Rand |
