| Message | surely it is fine for people to have an ID card if they want one? it is not a police state if they are not forced upon the people. |

| Message | ID Cards serve little practical purpose other than to control a population. First, they are optional, then, years later, they become mandatory. We oppose ID Cards as the tools of government control and oppression that they are. |

| 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. |
