| Message | As political preference, the communists are endorsing coucil powers. I have more trust for several people of a local council than one elected person. This is why some oppose the mayor movement. |

| 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. |
