| Message | WTF? We have nothing in common with Hulstria. Foreign dilution of our culture will not be tolerated! |

| Message | 7 million Hulstrians currently reside in Malivia, this was agree upon by the Levithan Party into to show where I drew my base when I resided in the country. They live largely in Dendars, and this can be viewed on the Hulstria Ethnic WIki Article. |
| Date | 19:54:41, May 16, 2007 CET | From | Gerajan Peoples Party | To | Debating the Hulstrian Values Act |
| Message | ooc: Gotcha. We should probably link this on the Malivian wiki, as well as update the new trends in Geraja made by my party. ic: We will not have precious Malivian culture overrun by these minorities! We will respect their customs and religion (though His Holiness the Messiah Jermaine Patel has the sole authority to appoint ministers of the Lutheran Church of Malivia: http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=112321). However, it is unreasonable for a nation to adopt the values of such a small minority. Furthermore, your bill needs additional explanation... what race/religion/gender are you talking about? Geraja is the state religion both in the legislative history of our nation as well as in international law (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewtreaty.php?treatyid=620). We would be happy to restrict citizenship to Geraja, but this would be rather insulting to the ethnic Hulstrians, no? |
| Date | 23:09:09, May 16, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Hulstrian Values Act |
| Message | The Liberty Party is opposed to every part of this bill. It is a racist, authoritarian monstrosity that does not belong in any free or civilized society. |
| Date | 01:22:14, May 17, 2007 CET | From | Gerajan Peoples Party | To | Debating the Hulstrian Values Act |
| Message | ooc: This makes no sense, as most Malivians aren't white, as precedenced by prior ooc discussions on the Nation Page. The only "white" citizens are ethnic Hulstrians and Hobrazians. |
| Date | 02:51:33, May 17, 2007 CET | From | New Conservative Party of Malivia | To | Debating the Hulstrian Values Act |
| Message | OOC: Which is why it's termed "minority rule" |
| Date | 10:52:01, May 18, 2007 CET | From | Gerajan Peoples Party | To | Debating the Hulstrian Values Act |
| Message | Apartheid in Malivia? Why would we ever agree with that? |
| Date | 01:07:26, May 19, 2007 CET | From | Wiedervereinigten Nationalisten | To | Debating the Hulstrian Values Act |
| Message | OOC: You weren't meant to agree to it, I was supposed to be exerting Hulstrian influence in Malivia, until I got too homesick |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
