Message | They aren't yet, that is because our people are being oppressed. If tourism were outlawed it wouldn't be a big industry either. Our people need burgers. |

Message | Fast-food restaurants are not outlawed, people already have access to burgers, and what does some small American fast-food restaurant chain have to do with saving the environment in Luthori? |

Message | And I might add, our people are not concerned w/ Ecology, it is of moderate importance to them and most are skeptical about it. What they are concerned about are burgers. NPH says no on trees and yes to burgers. |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
