| Message | We can play a semantics game, Comrades, or we can face up to reality. Establishing a police force would allow the state to control our actions, with no opposition. What happens when we do something they disapprove of- arrested. We will not allow this and if this bill passes, we will be forced into the liberation of the Kalistani people. Jean-Baptiste Fabian, Premier of the Republic |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
