| Message | We will not approve of the bill which would allow foreigners to corrupt our country, let alone allowing journalists to work as spies in "the interest of the public", a codeword for the IUPU or the Blackshirts to control the national government. Our cabinet will not allow this! |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
