Senator Jacek announced yesterday the creation of a series of government grant programs on Isgardus to support artists in traditional fields of dance, music, writing, and other creative media. “Our goal here is the survival – and revival – of our cultures’ most valued forms of expression,” Jacek’s Prime Aide said to a packed press conference. “The Green Spiral Party is responding to the outcry of the people in the face of an alarming attack on our individualities by militarist, monetarist Parties.”
