| Message | This is isolationist. I can't understand how anyone can propose, let alone support turning Kalistan from one of the most open societies in the world to a hermit kingdom. Honestly, I think most of the Parties currently in the Kalistani Assembly are foreign agents sent to this country to harm our society. I'd like to know who pays you. |
