| Message | Perhaps you should note our party's description: The National Fascisti are a nationalist, liberal party of the Exalted Empire of Gaduridos. The reason for the misnomer is that in the first few decades after the forming of the party, they advocated a fascistic political ideology. Since then, they have seen the error of their ways and in the late 2140's, the party almost completely reformed its ideology, but opted to maintain maintain their old name and motto as a reminder to never make the same mistakes again. |

| 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. |
