| Message | Apparently it means "By the sword she seeks peace under liberty". We oppose, we believe that the current motto is better. However we shall soon submit a national motto for consideration which we believe properly represents this nation. |

| Message | We don't want a motto that acts as if violence is one of our best attributes. OOC: Are you related to Romney? I wonder if you hear that a lot. Sorry. |

| Message | OOC: Don't worry, it was just a dumb joke, since you're a Mormon in Massachusetts. |
| Date | 04:41:14, August 13, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the National Motto Act 2441 |
| Message | OOC: Oh yes, how original, a Mormon from Massachusetts must be related to Romney, I mean, they all marry each other, including their cousins. Oh, you are so funny. |

| Message | This motto is not a call to arms nor does it preach violence. It merely states that we want peace, but not if that peace comes without freedom. |

| Message | OOC: My whole point was that it was a dumb, ironic joke. And it wasn't about incest, it was about the lack of mormons in a state like Massachusetts. |
