| Message | The Royal Imperium's voice speaks the truth. We may have grown corrupt by way of sitting back on our haunches, but we are safe. We are safe not despite our lack of weaponry, but because of it. Seven hundred years of neutralty have brought us to were we are, and were we are is a place the vast majority of Terra wishes it could, and knows it never can, be. This is suicidally stupid. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
