| Message | The fact that Luthori still allows child labour and unregulated working hours is a national disgrace and among the most developed countries in the world we are a laughing stock. Child labour has been abolished in most Artanian countries and across the globe, yet we still send our children to work which impacts not only on their health but also on their education. Furthermore, our working hours policy is also archaic and dangerous for public wellbeing. Only tyrannies such as Kalopia, Jelbania and Mikuni-Hulstria have the same policy as Luthori - all of our Artanian neighbours regulate their working hours.. Why are we the only exception? |

| 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. |
