| Message | Herr Speaker, Even more worrisome is the abstention of the RSA and AP - these parties could take this opportunity to show their support for keeping money in the pockets of the workers they claim to represent, but instead remain silent. Telling. Telling. The workers of Dorvik are fortunate to have a government united in their defence. Hartmann Rot Minister for Finance, PfS |

| Message | Herr Speaker, We're will abstain mostly because we think rising the luxury and corporate taxes is good, but trying to rise taxes on essential goods is horrible. Is the DP a fascist party? What we know is that government parties are not voting against because of the rising of taxes on essential goods, instead they do it for the corporate and luxury taxes. How would the nobles that support them buy their giant houses and build their monopoly enterprises if the state redistributed their riches? Karolin Scholz, Spokesperson for the DRSA. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
| Random quote: "Up against the corporate government, voters find themselves asked to choose between look-alike candidates from two parties vying to see who takes the marching orders from their campaign paymasters and their future employers. The money of vested interest nullifies genuine voter choice and trust." - Ralph Nader |
