Description[?]:
| Quirites, We want to put on the table the serious deterioration of labor rights that the previous MTS government applied, like a roller, reducing our citizens to a mere workforce without any voice in the work they do, forced to bow their heads and comply with everything that was sent to them. Our nation's industry is important, as are workers, and the two must be in harmony to function properly. Pyrgopolynices Auspex Praetor Civilis |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
