| Message | OOC: Ggrrr at you guys undermining my little left-wing revolution thingy! IC: Madam Speaker, Dranland needs a nationalised defence industry in order to meet our national defence needs. When it comes to developing weapons and equipment for our army, there is a lot of very confidential information involved - information which is sensitive to our nation security. It would not be appropriate to share this information with private defence companies, and for this reason, we need our own state-run defence industry. Antonio Ballesteros MP (Minister of Defence) |

| Message | Madam Speaker, nothing could be more irresponsible than eliminating the regulatory system which keeps Dranland's advertising industry in check. Left unregulated, big business will engage in all manner of deceitful, dangerous and questionable forms of advertising. Madam Speaker, this is free-for-all-casino-capitalism-with-no-morals at its very worst. Cadfael Maddocks MP (Prime Minister of Dranland) |
