| Message | SRP: This bill will in no way cripple Ikradon's military or national security. Quite simply, nuclear arms attract the wrong sort of attention worldwide, and Ikradon is in more danger with them than witout them. As we have gained seats in the Ikradonian National Congress, we have rewritten this manifesto into a bill. |
