| 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!" |

| Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand |
