| Message | We're running a country, not a sweet shop. It's an absurd idea to create 5 different legal systems so that citizens of Dorvik can move to the one that suits them best. That goes against everything that a liberal democratic state stands for, which, although we oppose, we far prefer to this barmy option. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
