| Message | The Washington Party recognizes and supports the 70 Trillion Alorik surplus, but also notices the lack of exportation. We respectfully request that the current governing party let the free market system take over certain areas to grow exportation and lessen the tax burden on working Alorian families. |

| Message | Since our glorious nation under your rule has a 70 trillion Alorik surplus, I would be willing remove article 1. I think the other three are important for growing our economy and you would be collecting 95% still of the much higher business earnings. As you may have noticed, we have no exports, and this is something we should explore and expand. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
