| Message | As of now, smaller regions have a "considerable advantage" when it comes to seat distribution. Under the proposed legislation, larger regions would only have a "very small" advantage when it comes to seat distribution. Providing larger regions with a very small advantage would work to ensure that every vote is equal, rather than the votes of those in smaller regions being more important than those in larger regions. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
