| Message | We do not support this. The HNP respects the absolute right to property, and if the state would like to purchase such property, they must do so at a price that the owner sets. It's the basic rule of a free capitalist society. |
| Date | 11:22:43, May 17, 2007 CET | From | Republican People's Party | To | Debating the Eminent Domain (Fair Compensation) Act |
| Message | The balance of power should be tilted in favour of the government on this issue, otherwise it will be too easy for mega-rich landlords to prevent important government projects from going ahead. James Underdown (Leader of the RPP) |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
