| Message | As much as it huts to see your flag being burned by someone we still can't prevent people from doing it. They should have the freedom to express thei anger, in a non-violent way of course. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
