| Message | I propose a more ambiguous name as best for Rildanor as it would require fewer name changes in the future. I particularly like the unique name for our subregions as Cantons and I, therefore, propose we do something along the lines of Les Cinq Cantons du Rildanor (the Five Cantons of Rildanor) or Les Cantons-Unis du Rildanor (United Cantons of Rildanor). Opinions? |

| Message | As well, it appears a change in the name of the legislative assembly, the title of the Head of State/Head of Government are in order. |

| Message | More proposals are being added here as our monthly quota is filled. The name for Rildanor at this point is a tad non-negotiable since the PDL and I agreed upon it earlier (all of the constitutional changes I'm adding to this bill have already been agreed upon by our two parties). In the future, if necessary, I could see a compromise on this issue. Perhaps the Fédération de Rildanor. I rather like the inclusion of "free" in any eventual name though. |

| Message | We have no quarrels with a "Free Republic" or "Free Federation". It would, however, become a tad hypocritical if any conservative or authoritarian party takes our nation down a path which would violate any free social contract. |
| Date | 00:19:56, June 19, 2007 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Première Loi De Réforme Constitutionnelle |
| Message | That's of course a possibility. If they go too far down that path though it would make since to change the name anyway. |
| Date | 00:32:41, June 19, 2007 CET | From | Union Démocrate Libertarien | To | Debating the Première Loi De Réforme Constitutionnelle |
| Message | We are agreed on the national title then, however, it seems the flag proposal is your party's emblem. May I suggest a tricoloured triangular or barred flag arrangement with five fleurs or five stars? |
| Date | 03:02:46, June 19, 2007 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Première Loi De Réforme Constitutionnelle |
| Message | The flag isn't my party emblem, I just used a modified version on the forums because I had nothing else to use there. I plan on changing it asap. Unfortunately the flag is another of the agreed upon constitutional changes between the PDL and I. I know it sounds like I'm saying this a lot, but I promise we didn't agree on much, just the basic changes to complete our French transition. You're welcome to try and change the flag in the future, but we settled on this one because it wasn't a cliched French flag, and had a good look (at least I think so), and the PDL was gracious enough to agree. : ) |
| Date | 16:55:30, June 19, 2007 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Première Loi De Réforme Constitutionnelle |
| Message | Time to cross our fingers. Hopefully the PDL will get on in time to vote this through. Otherwise we'll be stuck with our current mess until after the elections, and I'll have wasted all my proposals. : ( |

| Message | Yay! The PDL made it!!! |

| Message | Even if now, the game is over and the bill will pass, ADER would like to bring it's support to this bill. Sincerely M. Fontaines |
