| Message | "Hmmmmm," CLP Senator Giovanni Elefante muttered as he pondered the words of his fellow Senator from the LPP. "Our distinguished colleague of the majority party has a valid point. It is true that citizens of other nations have little value to the citizens of our nation because they are foreigners who live outside our borders. However, we of the CLP hope this benevolent measure will garner international good will and favor toward Dolgaria. Who knows, perhaps our acts of kindness will persuade them to migrate to our great empire!" |
