| Message | The House of Oranje-Magrathea also has Dutch ancestry and so we will support this bill. |

| Message | We might support Article 2 as it retains the Ikradonian text. We oppose Article 1, however, and if the bil is left as is we wil vote against on those grounds. |

| Message | Why doesn't IB propose a national motto in twenty languages? We don't see any reason to add a dutch translation in the official motto. English and Latin however are "universal" languages. |
| Date | 00:11:03, May 28, 2007 CET | From | Ikradonian Interest | To | Debating the Netherlandic cause |
| Message | We think a national motto should be in the languege that's spoken by the people. 'National' and 'universal' form quite an opposite, so IB doesn't see any sense in such reasoning. |
