| Message | The power grid is nationalised already; it's just that each region maintains its own, to keep track of productivity. OOC: The current law is both "federalist" and "big government" Your law would be "unitarist" and "big government" Nothing is wrong with the current law. Just telling you so you don't think the current law is small government. The old law, where it was completely privatized, is small government. |
