| Message | This goes against any kind of ambition, freedom, liberty or opportunity in Dorvik. We oppose it fully. Please, for once, give me real proof of how capitalism causes these problems. I remember this kind of thing being instituted in Badara, and they are now a hell-hole with wars raging and people dying of starvation. Cindy Kirchen Co-Leader of Pragmatismus Minister of Justice |

| Message | I have visited Badara a number of times, and the last occasion was only 3 months ago. I can assure the Honourable Lady that Badara is a wonderful country, where everybody is happy. Everybody has a home, everybody has a job, nobody lives in poverty, everybody works together and everybody is very happy. If only Dorvik could be more like Badara!
