Message | The benefit system is an integral part of capitalism. We inscribe upon our banners not the conservative slogans of 'fairer capitalism', but the revolutionary slogan of 'abolish capitalism!' Rather than make the current, corrupt system a little bit more pleasant, let us tear it apart and build a new society in its place. |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
