| Message | OOC: In Particracy, more spending = larger GDP. Less spending = lower GDP. Govt. spending is the largest determinant in national GDP in this game. The economic system was never finished. The nation with the largest GDP in the world is Hobrazia. This is entirely due to their massive budget deficit. |

| Message | Well, but we are not making a deficit here |
| Date | 00:21:39, May 12, 2009 CET | From | H+ Paradigm | To | Debating the Budget |
| Message | Any decrease in spending, decreases GDP. A deficit increases GDP. |
