| Message | Andras Dymock is a 47-year-old Welsh ethnic technologist, who was born and raised in New Englia, with ancestry stretching back centuries in the region. He's gained respect in the colony for his charisma and steady approach to both business and politics, and we feel he would be a great candidate for governor of New Englia. I now open the floor to debate. |

| Message | We have had the oppurtunity to interview Mr. Dymock, and feel that he is capable of handling the position. We shall support his appointment as Governer. |

| Message | We oppose. We have formed links with the indigenous movements who seek full independence, and they have our total support. We should pull out of such imperial endeavours, not prolong them. |

| Message | An independent New Englia is not feasible, and we would be abandoning the people of the area if we did such a thing. The fact is, New Englia needs more integration - it is in a terrible state because of the neglect it has suffered in the past, and we owe a duty to help the people, not abandon them. |

| Message | New Englia is basically a collection of small villages. This area has no money, very little infrastructure, and is suffering a health crisis, including a malaria epidemic. It would be quite irresponsible of us to leave the area now. They have been basically left to their own devices up until this point, and is in the state that it is in now because of it. We have a responsibility to improve New Englia. We will not support pulling out of New Englia at this point. We imagine it will be decades at best until they are ready to manage their own nation. |

| Message | Ahh, the "Artanian Man's Burden" argument... Why can we not provide assistance and advice to an independent, native-run regime? Because we have to 'civilise' the place first it seems. New Englia was invaded by the fascist government that nearly brought Kirlawa to total destruction. It seems incongruous to celebrate the liberation of Kirlawa from dictatorship, while at the same time preparing to consolidate our hold on a place where we were never wanted in the first place. |
