| Message | Its not the law of the land if its up to local governments. And I do not believe in completely abolsihing the federal state, I am strongly against that. I just believe that the federal government should have only a small amount of power and that its main duty is national security. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
