Description[?]:
| "Many Solentians are outraged that their voice is not heard as well as other voices in the larger regions of Solentia. Well, the ULP has sided with the minority and now ask the Senate to do something about it. Today, the ULP asks for equal representation of all regions of Solentia. This will have a slight adjust in everything that is political. However, we must show these other Solentians that they can be heard just as good as people in the capital or anywhere else" -Mark Place ULP Senator |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
