Special People's Broadcasting Network Broadcast

Pavel Baiki, renowned news anchor of PBN News, appears on the TV screen as the flapping Kilani flag graphic fades out and the patriotic music dies.

"Glorious Comrades, I have just recieved word that the People's Senate has outlawed capitalism in all of it's forms. The goal we set during the turbulent times of the Glorious Revolution and the War for the Comrades of Karrana is over. Finally we have stricken the plauge that is Capitalism from our country. Now they will not even be able to acquire the money they so selfishly covet! Victory for the Party, Comrades!"

The glorious workers and soldiers of kudlastan send their heartfelt congratulations, although there is nothing wrong with making a bit of the money when all the companies are actually just state controlled puppets....

The Board of The Corporate Conglomerate of Solid Water congratulates you on your achievement.

However, we must agree with Kudlastan, becuase a nation with no currency cannot engage in trade.

Regardless, as long as you do not wish to impose your views onto the world, you may continue to do what you wish.

Congratulations,

-The Board

For so long as it remains possible to do so, a number of private citizens within the Igovian Soviet Commonwealth of Beth Gellert may be seen devoting parts of their ample spare-time to enthusiastic propaganda directed at the people of Kilani. Magazines, posters, private letters, E-mails, and websites, along with some intrepid travellers carrying soap-boxes even now attempt to engage the population with the words, "Comrades, you are being mislead! We stand for the power of the Soviets, not that of the Parties!" Various speeches and documents go on to encourage devolution of power by the election of free Soviets or other bodies, voted for by working people and not simply elite party-members. Certainly they all encourage at least personal independence from the party-line, asserting that it is in their own bloody experience the only way to achieve any progress: democratic, social, political, economic, or otherwise.

Others are less hasty, and prefer simply to wish the people of Kilani the best of luck in their ambitious undertaking, assuming that it is really theirs and not simply, 'the party's'.
