| Message | Reasonable! Hardly! We have been pouring over much of our eyes upon this bill, and it brings to us much infuritations! Cannot you see how oppressive border control is oppressive! We cannot be having such things! And internets, O' Holy Fungi be sporous, do you understand the taxes! The fees! We try to do internet trade in Telamon in 2400's, they were giving to us the boot for copiers rights! No. We have a nation now. We have soveringitiyism. DOLGAVA DECIDE COPIERS RIGHTS WITHING DOLGAVA And any who wish to share our agreements, may come and purchase items as well. Without taxation or fee or INTERPOLICE coming in and pushing over things and arresting! POLICE PATROL ALL THINGS That is so expensive. All these things you want cost so much! We have no tax, we have no government, who will pay for all this? Me? Georgs? My neighbor Vilhelm's double-deaf daughter suffering from with the Consumption? NO! CHARITY IS FOR THE DEATH Dolgava will have no of your manifestoing. It sells so poorly. |

| Message | "Look here you dirty..... um... political representatives. We are just trying to have a SERIOUS CONVERSATION. We feel that all reasonable and well-educated Dolgavans will agree with us that this recent spate of.... of... um... moral laxity may perhaps definitely be a result of a certain class of people..... running riot!" ("Calm down Dear. Your getting rather excited") "(Sorry Dear)" "(We can't afford to make a scene in front of these filthily ape people)" ("I think they heard that Dear") "Anyway we strongly feel that in order to make this country truly business friendly, to speak in terms your..... um.... culture can understand we need strict limits and boundaries, and plenty of fees and paper work too. Nothing wrong with documentation is there? After all, I, like many members of the Respected Neighbourhood and Family Party just happen to come from bureaucrat families-" "(Your discrediting the party now, Dear)" ("Shut up women!) and we know that we need order and stability of plenty of good steady jobs for life. If that costs a little we are more than willing to pay!" |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
