| Message | The tax revenue on our 0% corporate tax has risen to 7,963,810,290 LOD, so this bill would generate a small surplus. |

| Message | Btw, we estimate the LOD to be about 5 times as strong as a US dollar. For estimation purposes. The lowest wage in Lodamun is 1.07, the lowest wage in the US is 5.15. |
