| Message | This statist legislation denies the reality. Government bureaucrats can never have the knowledge of the whole of entrepreneurs in Pontesi. The market can and DOES regulate itself far better than any gov't toady. The profit and loss mechanism, left to its own ends, WILL create the socially optimal conditions for all people in Pontesi, given the constraints in nature. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
