| Message | These are the reasons for our budget changes: Internal Affairs - 300,000,000 SOL increase. Will be spent on increasing staff who work in border force, immigration office and making sure that asylum seeker and refugee policy is more strict. Infrastructure and transport - 2,000,000,000 SOL decrease, we have privatised all TOC's (Train operating companies) including the national TOC. We do not have a national TOC, and all subsidies will go to private TOC's to operate a very sufficient transportation service throughout Solentia. Health and Social Services - 200,000,000 SOL increase. We believe the extra funding can be used on productivity of private clinics and hospitals throughout Solentia. We will assure the funding goes towards improving waiting times for patients, and upgrading the equipment used in private medical practices. Education and Culture - 1,000,000,000 SOL decrease. As education is voluntary, and down to local governments regarding policy, we will fund local governments to provide policies for schools throughout Solentia. The government will not directly subsidise schools. Food and Agriculture - 500,000,000 SOL decrease. We will partially cut agricultural support funding in Solentia. People who qualify will receive 15% less of their original funding costs. |

| Message | Food and agriculture CHANGE: the budget will be cut due to laws on livestock now in the hands of local governments. We will provide funding to local governments for laws and policies regarding life stock. **** We already do not provide any agricultural support for citizens, this is the reason for the instant change.**** |

| Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
