Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: February 2199
Description[?]:
| His Grace has just discovered that his accountant, Mr. Greenshaw, stole several million trillion Aldegarian Crowns off him five years ago. His Grace is fuming mad, and wants this scheming crook to be locked away in jail, but unfortunately his solicitors have advised him that a prosecution is impossible, because the courts do not have the power to examine the paperwork currently in the possession of his Mr. Greenshaw. If the Grand Council will not legislate immediately to make the laws of the land more sensible, His Grace will take matters into his own hands and have Mr. Greenshaw bumped off, his children kidnapped and smuggled away abroad and sold into slavery etc. etc. Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
