Description[?]:
| Good evening fellow Telamonese, Our country is in crisis. Yes, the economy is great and the free market is being upheld and the S&P 1000 is increasing each day. The problem is that religious fanaticism is trying to control our country. We here at CIU realize that if anything will be done while we are in a minority government we must compromise with them. I have created some bills, through the will of congress and our executive branch, to try to restore some order and keep CIU policy alive and well. Good night, - Address to people of Telamon from President Neil Sean Ettington |

| Message | "Once again, the CIU shows the face of the government as they would have it: a government that doesn't care! A government that doesn't care about the cries of children, a government that doesn't care about the weak and the old, a government that doesn't care about the welfare of the citizens. But we, the order, care about our brethren. And because we care, we must put the country's security and stability at the highest priority. Therefore, we shall agree with the CIU on these matters, for they are matters of little consequence, as long, as the CIU agrees not to use the shortened period of elections to throw down again and again the holy union of State and Church." -- Glûzian II. Ffyrdin, Son and Right Hand of Archpope Glûzz I. |
