| Message | Mr. Speaker, Dorvik is a wealthy country with the ability. I am astounded that a party that stands for welfare of the people as dared to go against its principles arguing "There are better projects to spend government money on". I wish to inform you that this money is not owned by the government. It comes from the taxes of our hard working citizens which should get something back in return. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
