| Message | We'll vote yes for positioning if enough vote no. Otherwise we are opposed to this. Art. 1; While we beleive in collective ownership of industry, we do not believe that it is the time to completely nationalize the defence industry. Art. 2; While we do not support the current law, nuclear weapons are one of the few things that have kept us from being overrun by non-Dovanian nations who want our lands. Art. 3; Since we beleie in the potential use of nuclear weapons we are obviously opposed to prventing their construction. Art. 4; We are against isolationism politically, socially and, as is the case here economically. While we would prefer to go on a case by case basis we are opposed to outright preventing their export. |

| Message | OOC: To be transparent to, MTPU and myself both control 'private' arms/defence contractors, so making them state-ownd, without us controlling defence and industry would cause us problems. |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
