| Date | 13:54:18, August 08, 2018 CET | From | Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal | To | Debating the PCP 001 - Economic Liberalism Act |
| Message | The Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal supports Caillean capitalism (OCC social market economy or Rhine capitalism) combining a free market capitalist economic system alongside social policy which establishes both fair competition within the market and a welfare state. The UDRC believes that a coordinated market economy produces the best results for our society. Our economic model is strongly inspired by social democratic ideas and the tradition of Aurorian Patriarchal Church social teaching. This model combines free markets and social policies to create an economy that serves the welfare and needs of the entire population and not just the rich. So, we oppose the kind of policies spoused by this bill. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
