| Message | Arms trading had been a major business in our nation for centuries, we see no needs to further restrict them and incapacitate our economy by slowing down our most important export. We also believe that because of constant cold war between we and Beiteynu that no company will be selling anything to them because of their personal view. |

| Message | So the Democrat Party believes that business has some concern for morality and patriotism? And perhaps the ONCP wishes to send our units into battle against enemies we have armed after we have stripped them of officers? |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
