Description[?]:
As a scientific country, we in a way have science as our religion. As such we should set up a Scientific Inquisiton to route out poor thoeries and scienfic methods not sutiable to our state. The felons shall then be tortured as an example to other scientists and then killed by a nice evil scientific manure, being dipped in boiling hydrochloric acid (5 M) maybe. |

Message | Science is a religion, we BELEIVE in science. SO why not govern it by a tribunal/inquistion, to limit damage from scientific community to general populance. |

Message | That would be like protecting our forests by dousing them in petrol and lighting them on fire. |
Date | 08:38:24, January 10, 2006 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the Scientific Inquistion |
Message | This is more likely to stagnate science than to push it forward. It used to be widely accepted that the world was flat. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
