| Message | I can agree with everything but the last paragraph. |
| Date | 14:23:55, April 06, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Planned Economy Act |
| Message | Article 1. We have no problems with international business owning Hobrazian industries, however we would like to see a ruling preventing foreign companies owning a majority share in vital service industries. Article 2. Can't support this. There is no problem with allowing private industry to operate large scale operations within the republic, however increasing Government ownership of business would not be something we are opposed to. We would recommend re-introducing the National Industry Regulations Act. Article 3. No. The current system allows for an individual to survive, whilst also guaranteeing that their family is catered for via child assistance etc. It would also decrease the economic advantage of our Country compared with others so losing us large amounts of investment. Article 4. We would support this. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
