| Message | We test prospective Beluzians for excellence, excellence in health and virtue as well as breeding. Your proposal is racist and inefficient, contrary to the values of our great nation. The Liberal traitors bring SHAME to us ALL! |

| Message | You would call anyone Beluzian, regardless of where they were born or who their ancestors were, and we are the traitors. As for racist, the PPP is the party who requires every citizen to register their race. This is truely shameful behaviour. And I might remind Parliament that this is a question of who claims nationality, not citizenship. We are will to compromise on this and continue to allow foreign citizens to apply for Beluzian citizenship. This is a question of who can claim Beluzian nationality. If those who are not born in Beluzia, nor to Beluzian parents, may call themselves Beluzians, what meaning (if any) does the term have? |

| Message | Those who are excellent, healthy and virtuous are not foriegn to Beluzia, no matter the location of their birth or the lineage of their pedigree. |

| Message | The grotesqueries of your barbarous nationalism out rage the human dignity of the Beluzian People! Ours is a single Terra united under Zog! |
| Date | 16:04:24, August 16, 2007 CET | From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Naturalization Act (2442) |
| Message | Those who are pure blooded should be given it... yet many of our people dwell in territories that should belong to Beluzia. |
