| Message | "What is the goal of all this local control, really? Do we want to create truly unique States under the jurisdiction of a confederacy? If so, the People's Commonwealth Party supports such a belief. Especially if there are very different ideological elements in the country vying for control and need their own states to represent their seperate interests. I'm not sure there will ever be a day when all of mankind will be able to found a world-wide, unified government they may all support. However, should we then be giving power to the republics instead of the local governments in that case? If we spread power too much, wont that create a lot of division?" - Dmitri Klaus Domestic Chairman of the People's Commonwealth Party |

| 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. |
