| Message | You are very delusional. The UHP just wants what's best for the country. Your interests are only in helping foreign investors. You would rather bring them money and propserity than for our people. |

| Message | If we were to follow your ideals this is what would happen: "The foreign investors buy the local businesses / factories, get any tax breaks, runs it into the ground, shuts it down and moves out leaving us without an industry we used to have and no base from which to innovate anew. Our balance of payments over time demonstrate the consequences of this sort of "investment": we import more and more of what we used to make and economies of scale mean there will cannot be a local competitor or alternative." |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
