Message | Sorry, Latin isn't my strong point. What does it say? |
Date | 19:54:49, July 29, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the New National Motto Act 2087 |
Message | It means literally "By unity little things increase." but is generally more freely translated as "Unity makes Strength." I thought it would be a good motto for a country called the "Federated States". |
Date | 22:56:50, July 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the New National Motto Act 2087 |
Message | Against. Our current one is fine. |
Date | 13:10:52, July 30, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the New National Motto Act 2087 |
Message | I think the current one is too partisan. |
Date | 18:42:50, July 30, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the New National Motto Act 2087 |
Message | I do not think the ideals of Liberty, Prosperity and Individuality are partisan at all. |

Message | They are. "Liberty", it's unlikely but it's possible that there are stalinist parties. And "Individuality" is a value we don't like to be in our national motto as it could mean "everyone for himself, and don't look after others". |
Date | 14:53:36, July 31, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the New National Motto Act 2087 |
Message | I like the old one. |
