| Message | We can support this. We wouldn't suggest that other countries are not allowed to have embassies in Hutori, but the other articles seem to be wisely chosen: It's the right way to save money instead of mindlessly spending it on aid for foreign countries. |
| Date | 13:10:28, March 12, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Aesthetic and pacifist bill concerning foreign policy 2372 |
| Message | Le Chaim apparently has a split personality. On one hand they are in favour of the Macon Union and internationalists, but on the other hand, as this bill shows, they are blatant isolationists who oppose all forms of free trade. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
