| Message | To help even out the representation. Otherwise the larger regions will always run the country, and this would be unfair to the smaller regions and the people living in them. It would be better if we had a bicameral legislature. |

| 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. |
