| Message | The DCD has serious concerns with this piece of legislation, as we worry that it may generate a dependence on foreign paper. We believe that one stand both the COM party and the DCD can agree on is the necessity of avoiding dependency on foreign goods. We believe that Article I may compromise this avoidance.

| 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). |
