| Message | The Free and Fair Trade Act's goal is to limit the use of tariffs and quotas that Lodamun imposes on imported goods. This will result in lower prices of goods for the people of Lodamun. This act will also change our international trade policy to be reciprocal so it will promote other nations in Terra to reduce their use of tariffs. William Harris LFP Leader |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
