| Message | The PFR cannot support any of these increases, least of all the removal of local government prerogatives and the raising of the tax rate to such a high level. |
| Date | 17:46:48, December 08, 2017 CET | From | Pro-Artanian Coalition | To | Debating the Centrist Economic Policy |
| Message | We are only asking companies to give up 20% of their profits. This is by no means, a high number. The average Alorian pays around 35% of their income in income tax alone. This is extremely inequitable and surely 20% will still be a low and attractive rate. Cadfael Wigley Leader of the PAC |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
