| Message | Increasing the number of seats in Stortinget to 381 would result in ~ one MS per 500,000 voters. It should be an odd number to help avoid stalemate situations. |

| Message | 75 seats with our current number of voters means roundabout 3.8 million votes per Medlem af Stortinget. apart from making Stortingets Medlemmer unaccessible for the average voter, it may also give the deputys a kind of power they shouldn't have in a democratic country |

| Message | We're not a democratic country. We're a police state. OOC: Or at least we're as close to a non-democratic country as we can get in this game. |
