| Message | From Mr. Duck*.... Nice one, SGSP...... Taking the choice cabinet posts of Finance, Defence and Justice... All the others are merely rubber stamping ones.... Except for Foreign Affairs, that is. I'll come in and have a look at how Saridan is going, from time to time, incidentally. *For the Ghost who no longer walks... |

| Message | We like the way we have it now with the more active parties having more cabinet positions. While we do not have all day to spend in Saridan we still deserve at least one position. |

| 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. |
