I had no idea it was that easy to ensure your citizens will never get married!

Unmarried?? That's a trip to the labor camps!

Married no kids?? That's right labor camps.

Married, kids, no boys?? You better believe that's labor camp.

Do you really think people will have a choice? Here's your wife chosen for you by the Party. Do you marry her or are you an anti-socialist class traitor?
