Description[?]:
| "It is sheer lunacy to allow local governments to decide environmental policies. Sure, the Irkawans might do a good job protecting the forests and the parks, but what about those slack-jawed yokels in Domale? I don't think they can be trusted to take care of things like this. Oh and what about the Egatonese? They'll unregulate everything and sell it off to the private sector! Lunacy!" - Furrio Mazzi, Environmental Spokesman |
