| Message | Me Speaker, We find this bill to be very disturbing. We have to ensure that the people of our nation do not fall for elitist idea's like this. The only way everyone is sure to get the same level of education is to have them kept nationlised. |

| Random fact: It is possible for a player to transfer ownership of a character or a royal house to another player. This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
