| Message | Mr. Speaker, ((OOC: I'm imagining a semi-large recession in Dorvik right now...ya know to spice things up.)) The current economic situation in Dorvik needs to be further examined, we are having infrastructure problems and we need to focus inward before we can once again focus outward. I believe that the people in our nation are more of our concern then the others outside of it. A large central bank with other privately owned banks is a temporary fix for the commerce of this nation it will return to normal once the situation stabilizes. As for the screening of religions...would you like Satanist coming in the nation and causing problems for us by demanding that people sacrifice themselves for Satan? The mortal enemy of the Catholic Church. |

| 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. |
