| Message | Although my support is insignificant, I also want a cut in defence and give more money to the people (like putting it in H&E) |

| Message | Under most circumstances it isn't the government's job to improve the living standards of its people beyond what the Republic is already doing. Government is meant to govern. That's it. |

| Message | So then cut taxes so that the government doesn't need to spend so much on defence. For a supposedly peaceful nation we probably appear a little hypocritical to all of the other countries. Unless of course they have a majority of American players in their countries as well I guess. |
