| Message | (This just seems better to me. The default option we got was a little too vague, IMO, and this one should make sure prisoners are treated ok without endangering national security. My suggestion to the FRP is to draw up a small treaty to be signed by any and all nations that would address the issue of prisoners of war. I think ideally, we hold on to them, without torturing or starving them, and only release them after a peace treaty has been negotiated.) |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
