| Message | We dislike the motto and we are against the President running the House of Delegates (or Tequila Lounge) as it's more popularly known. We share your loathing of the current meaningless monarchy but would prefer to see the President's powers separated from the Head of Government's. |

| Message | >We share your loathing of the current meaningless monarchy but would prefer to see the President's powers separated from the Head of Government's. We think that a strong separation of power, only feasable with an executive separately elected, is a good thing. However, if there is a concensus, we would approve a separate HoS and HoG. For the motto, I think this one was the old one, but we are open to any suggestion. Its just that we were not eager to let the current usurpative one. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
