| Message | "The MARC is daimetrically opposed to article one. We cannot allow foreign investors to be in control of our industries. Alien powers cannot have the final say in anything regarding our nation if we are to raise ourselves from this powerless state of affairs." |

| Message | "They can already function with foreign investors - the only stipulation for foreign investors is that they cannot become majority share holders. A foreign power buying out one of our companies can be disasterous. They are not limited to a small say or anything like that, they are only limited from having the largest say." |

| 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). |
