| Message | "We pity the poor People of Likatonia, who are the real victims in this game that you're all playing. Removing religious freedoms.. making tepid concessions... Last time we did this, Sturm und Drang gained a massive chorus of approval from The People, and we undid all your evil deeds. Now you've let religion be banned again, and are making more tepid gestures. For shame. Why do politicians insist on inflicting their own godlessness on the good Immeressen-fearing People of this bravew nation". --Avar Akkad Avara |
