| Message | Apart from the failed state of Gaduridos, we are the only Seleyan state who regulates media over and above false content. Doesn't that tell you something? We should be at the forefront of freedoms, not lagging back with dictatorships. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
