| Message | We propose a new budget which, whilst maintaining a small budget surplus, will allow us to: - Increase our influence overseas through allowing us to allot more aid spending. - Improve our economy by boosting our infrastructure, revolutionising our education system, increasing research & development investment and raising the budget of the Industry Department to develop our economy. - Make more funds available to subsidise the pharmaceutical drugs the poor are in need of. - Start upholding environmental standards seriously by providing the Environment Department with the funds it needs.

| 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). |
