| Message | OOC: Federalism is when power shared between the federal and local governments. This bill is more in tune with Unitarianism which advocates that all power belongs to the central government. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
