| Message | How could we possibly support any of these? They roll back the modest gains in legislation that Kalistan made over the last term. And apparently we can't get a single vote from Libertarians on re-establishment of the dual system on important aspects of the economy, so we won't give any votes on efforts to push us even FURTHER away from that. |

| Message | Only desagree to article 3.I say yes. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
