| Message | Seconded. In times of war, and times leading up to war, adequate revenue to pay for it must be available, and as such tax increases are a must. It does not matter particularly where the burden may fall, for the Individuals of Zardugal should be proud to be supporting the far greater and far more magnificent State of Zardugal. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |

This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now." - Louis Proyect |
