Description[?]:
| "Grand Master Shih Kao, the official leader, both politically and spiritually of the Zen Collective was arrested by the Ministry of Security during the clampdown of 'Black November'. Later on in the year he was moved to a secret location by security forces and has not been heard from since. There was no grounded cause for the arrest of the Grand Master and he did nothing to threaten the peace or stability of the nation. All this has caused in unnecessary distress for his family and friends. The Keymon Sovereignty Movement (Zen Collective) demand the immediate release of Shih Kao and propose this bill in the hope of gaining the support of the assembly on the matter." -- Elizabeth Kerouac, Provisional Party Chairman/Internal Affairs Spokesperson |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |

Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner |
