Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, Dranland is currently facing a wave of instability and lack of freedom thanks to Kyo ethnocentrism, socialism and nationalism. A good way for the current government to show it's belign intentions towards the non-Kyo populaion would be to decentralize the armed forces and give each and every individual the chance to defend him or herself. Only armed decent hard-working citizens can protect themselves from bandits. No more socialist over-regulation of the weapons industry. And the only way to get any form of control of the phenomenon of free citizens organizing themselves into associations to play and have fun with their weapons is to create a framework for these activities. Mace Tirwin Tanist, Freedom Party of Dranland |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
