| Message | How exactly are we gonna put out the governments point of view without at least a national tv station and radio channel? Also who is gonna air non advertising documentaries? |

| Message | After all, private stations can also show the governments point of view without any untruthful facts that you are trying to hide there. Everyone will have their own perspective and not the one imposed by your socialist/communist faces on national television. |

| Message | What? Have you ever watched television news before our dear liberals? There is nothing but bias in all news channels! Plus our statement for advertising free entertainment still stands. |

| Message | We think that it's necessary at least one public TV and radio channel, in our country we can enjoy a nice freedom of speech and a big variety of opinions, the Government is not imposing anything and our TVs and radios are objective, pluralistic and they have great quality content. |

| Message | Without taxes we would not be able to run the government.Without taxes there wouldn't be any free healthcare for the disfranchised citizens and we would be able to maintain a proper army for the security of the nation. Taxes are good. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
