| Message | Libraries are a right for every true born Sekowon. It should not be up to local governments to provide such an important service. It would just mean richer cities and towns will be able to afford libraries while poorer ones do without. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
