§lNotes from the Editors:§0 §0 §0Strong democratic institutions, freedom of expression, press and choice, have always been the foundation of the great City-State we call Mount Augusta. Thanks to all this, MtA has become one of the most peaceful and

developed nations in Civ history and appealing to the general player base; Builders, E-Lawyers, PvPers and casual players all play by the hand in this wonderful community and demonstrate the power of teamwork.§0 §0However, acquiring and building all these

institutions that guarantee a working and fair country wasn't easy at all, and required years of hard work to make. Therefore, an Augustan citizen has the duty of getting to know its duties, rights and obligations to make Mount Augusta even more fair.§0

The Constitutionalist Party of Mount Augusta has and will always support all these values and has written this small, in-game version of the Bill of Rights (That can be found in the Constitution at r/MtAugusta) in an attempt to make the citizenry more

informed in regards to their rights.§0 §0 §0 §0 §0 §0 §0 §0 §0 §0
