| Message | What possible reason could you have for this? Conscription is the only fair method of providing recruitment into the forces. Otherwise the middle classes and skilled working class will be able to shirk their responsibilities, leaving recruitment entirely to rural and poor whites. |

| Message | Many persons don't WANT to join the military. I, for one, don't want to waste my life fighting for the corporate pigs and their wars for wealth and conquest. Besides, being a citizen of one nation, especially through birth, does NOT obligate the person to sacrifice for their geopolitical unit. If the rich scum want their wealth, THEY can fight for it. I know your inbred and uneducated, but i'll try to explain this as best I can. Wars are caused by a) greedy capitalists for wealth and conquest and/or b) too many people and too little resources. Read Malthus. Of course, there isn't any 'purty pikchers' for you to look at, so it's beyond your comprehension. |

| Message | 1) Thats why there is civilian national service, how stupid of you. 2) Again, civilian national service, you could help the lepers or homeless for a few months. 3) Not true, war is caused by international anarchy, as there is no international government to prevent one nation attacking another, furthermore war predates capitalism, which creates the problem of non-existant capitalists causing wars in ancient civilizations. 4) I'll have a go at Malthus, even though it talks about overpopulation, not imperialist theory, on the condition the UDM check out Machiavelli, Hobbes or Rousseau. |

| 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. |
