| Message | OOC: Did you make this trying to equalize the amount of taxes collected and the amount of money spent, that is to only tax as much is spent, or did that just happen coincidentally? |

| Message | [[That was intentional, DSP]] Had to cut less somewhere or we\'d have been over budget. We\'d support reducing taxes more for those brackets if we further reduced spending, however. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
