Today, riots armed with flaming flags stormed the House Of Law, Cordinia's newly founded legislature.

The cause?

Word leaked out from an unsavoury character that the government would raise taxes to 25%.

This, however, was a hoax. A statement released by the Finance Minister proclaimed that no plans existed

to raise the tax rate from 15%.

- Buying new 60" plasma tvs

- Buying pools or hot tubs

- No more throwing money from airplanes
