| Message | Members of Congress, These measures are totally abhorrent to the values we hold dear as Baltusians - they are theocratic, authoritarian, and barbaric. The Baltusian people will reject such proposals at the next election and HAIL will soon see how marginal their views are. Sophia Germain Prime Minister Leader of the Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia (OOC: Welcome to Baltusia - have a good time playing) |
| Date | 23:38:07, March 13, 2018 CET | From | Holy Army of Insurrectionary Laymen | To | Debating the Policy Establishment |
| Message | We may never win an election--or even a single seat--but our goal is clear: to bring Hosianism to Baltusia. Only time will tell whether or not we can accomplish that through democracy or through insurrection. Vincent Martell Primate of All Baltusia Archbishop of Albiland Grand Master of the Holy Association of Independent Laymen (OOC: Thanks!) |
