| Message | A horrid proposal; a cluster of random proposals that the RCA shoves, and crams into one bill, in an attempt to cripple the economy, and damn the poor, after nearly every election. This is disrespectful to the Likatonian people, Congressman. John K. Johnson, President of the WSP |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
