Description[?]:
| Maria Calidadrina (MP), spokeswoman for family Businesses, To our believe we need to limit the influence of the state on economic life where family businesses can do a better job. However, there are a few obstacles. First, we must reduce state control and secondly, we must give small family based enterprises (eg: farming, retail and fishing) more possibilities to show their entrepreneurship. The proposed measures support an important part of our culture, are good for the economy, reduce unemployment and reduce unnecessary red tape! Thank you! |

| Random fact: Parties have the ability to endorse another party's candidate for the Head of State election (if there is one). This adds a strategic element to the elections. |
| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
