| Message | It works where i live... they have 3 state-owned TV-stations here, and they are far more objective (although complete objectivity is impossible) then most (every other) privatly owned TV-stations. They are the only TV-stations that actually show documentary's that are Anti-capitalist... |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
