| Message | Hello, the DSP is back. I have had some internet problems, but now it is all fine. On this bill, absolutely not, this calls for an unrestricted free market based on greed and individualism, something which we cannot stand for. |

| 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). |
