| Message | OOC: If you look at the Economics page (see http://classic.particracy.net/budget.php?nationid=46 ) you'll see that as a result of this budget, government expenditure makes up less that 0.01% of GDP! That is unrealistically low for a developed nation - or for any nation, for that matter. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
