| Message | we need to lessen taxes for all. But we can't since we won't be able to pass a lower budget since virtually every party votes against it everytime (the WPP, CPV, & VCP - which forms the majority right now.) I've tried decreasing taxes over the board, but the budget doesn't allow it. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
