Message | "Indentured servitude for repeat offenders would be an incredibly effective way to end the cycle for habitual offenders, currently International agreements stand in the way of this, we seek not to allow the slave trade but merely indentured servitude as a possible punishment for a crime" Elmer Clark Prime Minister of Rutania |

Message | *multiple PPR assemblypeople are heard swearing under their breaths* "With all due respect Prime Minister Clark, what the hell. Legalizing slavery? If this bill passes, our party will have no choice but to vote against every Whig proposal, regardless of whether we agree or not. Your party should be ashamed.
