| Message | (OOC: Any more national holidays I should mention? The chief purpose of the bill is to restore the 15th of September as a celebration of democracy and make it one of two principal national holidays alongside the official birthday of the reigning Sovereign, but maybe there are some I'm forgetting.) |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
