| Message | No, its a field worth the effort to explore, but we cant allow a monoply on it. If space travel was only provided by some Company they could use it to create things that would hender the Governments ability to do its job. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
