| Message | Shouldnt it be average wage? I think the members of our army should be well compensated for the great job they do and the risks they take. |

| Message | We believe two-thirds is sufficient. Remember, this is a minimum. The majority of new recruits have few job skills and would probably only be able to make half the average wage or less. As soldiers take on more dangerous duties, or get promotions, we agree that they should get more pay. |

| Message | Yes, does average wage mean all wages taken into account from minimum to millionaire. It's a bit of a strange thing to base the wage on |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
