| Message | From the financial advisor of the UNSC (ONI)--- This new budget would require an extra 1,477,000,000 RUT. So instead of burdening our citizens with extra taxes, let's instead reallocate funds from the Health and Social Services department which already has more funds than the Agricultural, Tourism, Industrial, and Science departments combined. ---Richmond Goldberg |

| Message | Madam Prime Minister -- We would like to respectfully point out that our current state income rests at 69,291,707,721 RUT; the proposed budgetary increase falls under this amount, and it will therefore not demand an increase in taxes or a burden on our citizens. We would gladly support this new budget. Sincerely, Adm. HF Reich Sven Neins Minister of Defence Minister of Science and Technology |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |

Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner |
