| Message | Concerning the first bill; education sets the workers apart from the leaders, therefore workers have no need and could be providing the state with money from the ages of 5-16. Concerning the second bill; this gives the priests of Telamon a monopoly on religion. Concerning the final bill; to compensate for all of the extra money that the state will save from public education and gain from the child workers, we can provide certain families with money. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
