| Message | Yes, but it's a sentence that only lasts 5 seconds. Not only that, but if you're wrongly imprisoned, there's no chance of an appeal. |
| Date | 18:07:19, November 08, 2005 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Death Penalty Act II |
| Message | Which is why it takes quite a bit of time between the announcement of your punishment to the date of punishment. |

| Message | I would think that if you can't find information that a man is innocent after about 10 years, chances are that he isn't innocent. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
