| Message | Your not letting people be free. Your allowing the selling and buying of workers by trying to create a huge capitalist nation. Theirfor, you basically would like individual rights with a capitalist boss that wants to buy people for, hmm, whatever the minimum wage is. You might aswell just try and introduce slavery and im sure thatll help the capitalists! They LOVE cheap labour! The more labour and time squeezed out of a workers life, the more worthless products are made, the more products are made, the more the boss makes, the more the boss makes, the happier the boss and the more misrable the workers. We wont support your wage slavery. Where ever you have a huge class gap, you will always have the opressed people. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
