| Message | Zog hast no fear!!! seriously tho, hast ye not read the Beluzian National Epic? Zog spanks 10 upstart political parties in the blink of an eye! *a solemn dwarf sounds the trumpet before Beluzia's National Epic is Read* 'First there was nothing. Then Zog rode forth from the tundra, his breathtaking musculature scintillating in the sunrise, God's host trumpeting above. Zog came not to teach, not to parlay, but to kick in the door to our betrayer's privy chamber, burning their history and their lies. Once, long ago, communists ruled the earth. They raised the People only upon injustice, stealing the Peoples wealth and using it to reward the inferior, whilst failing to celebrate the mighty. The People Prayed, and one day Zog appeared, boldly charging forth from the wastelands, burning the lies and breaking the traitors wheresoever he might find them! Some called him a barbarian, some opposed his grandeur, but soon all fell before his stomping boot! Grand Emperor Zog raised us from these ashes, and taught us of a better way! a way to fight! a continent to capture!' All Hail to Zog! All Hail to Beluzia! |

| Message | Keymon has been a neutral state ever since its inception I see no reason why not to offer it protection. Moreover offering protection to a neutral state without asking for anything in return can only reflect well for us on the world stage. On a different note could the Right Honourable representative for the Beluzian Republican Party please refrain from mentioning things that do not exist. Neither an 'Iraq war' nor a 'Yank' has ever existed or come to pass on Terra and therefore such examples should not be used in Chamber discussions. |

| Message | Many thanks to the honourable gentleman. It is the aim of the Foreign office to make Beluzia a world power, in order to achieve this we must be seen to be protecting not only our interests, but also the interests of "neutral" countries. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
