| Message | I think the majority share provision is important to keep Solentia self-sufficient and running. Solentian industry should help Solentia. |

| Message | What's wrong with foreign investors coming here to invest in our companies? Any country doesn't have enough resources to fight unemployment. Increasing foreign investments is the best way to fight unemployment. |

| Message | No it isn't. With the majority of a company in control of a foreign investor, it can be moved to another country. That will take Solentian citizens jobs. |

| 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 Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
