Under the new legislation only natural-born Ukrainians were granted the right to have density, speed was calculated to equal boiling-point over height and friction was abolished, which caused increased mortality around hills, but meant that Ukrainians could glide over hundreds of miles with just one push. Meanwhile in Kiev over three hundred protesters were injured in gravity riots."
