| Message | The National Syndicalist Party nominated Linley Wand, OSC, MP for Falristan, from the Council of University City. Sir Linley was born in 2847 in University City to parents involved with the University of Falristan. He studied ship engineering at the same university and lived in the vicinity until 2878, when he moved to Axminster for a while to pursue seminary training with the Lutheran Church of Central Macon. "Lutheran Doctrine and Homosexuality," Sir Linley's seminary dissertation, won him the Order of the Silver Cross and a posting as a minister in University City. He was elected to the House in 2888 for the first time, after being urged to run by the local NSP committee. Sir Linley has a reputation for his even temperament and extreme patience with all members of the House. Sir Linley's wife, Jane Boswell, is a member of the old-guard Saint Anselmite faction of the Union of Radical Republicans. |

| Message | The Union of Radical Republicans has put forth Madeline Huizenga, MP from St. Sebastian in the Wash, Kenai, near Egan. She was born in 2854 in Glentingham to Orange Catholic refugees from Vanuku, and was educated in Catholic schools and at St. Hilary's College in Adelia before attending the University of Sutton, graduating with high honors in 2880. She spent three years working as a speechwriter for UFC leadership during their meteoric rise and after their disbandment was convinced to run for a seat in the Wash for the Union of Radical Republicans. During her time in the House she has been noted for her focus on procedural reform and committee transparency. |

| 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). |
