| Message | Dear members of the Knesset, I, as head of the military strongly condem these suggestions. It must be the right of the military who will serve or not and to ensure a proper defence we need enough personnel. Rav Aluf |

| Message | To the Knesset and the fascist instigator Rav Aluf, There would be more than enough personnel if these discriminatory and fascist regulations were to be removed, allowing more people to enlist. |It would make the mandatory service unnecessary, and your backwards laws place an undue burden on the Yeudish population of our state. I, along with the majority of free thinking people in Beitenyu, condemn the military's reckless and biased actions in our political sphere. Every time they interfere, we draw one step closer to a true dictatorship and military state. -Shimon Sheraga |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
