Description[?]:
| The Commonwealth stands at a unique moment in history, we have had peace for over 60 years since the end of the Royalist Rebellion, we must ensure this peace be secured and defended. In the past this great continent of Artania has been led by the nations of Luthori or one of the various Dundorfian powers, now there is no leadership on the continent. We in the Grand Conservative Union believe the time is now to show the strength of the Commonwealth, we must empower our military to defend our peace and defend the stability of the continent if need be. -Frank Bennett -GCU Minority Whip |
