| Message | 1. With our high surplus in national funds, I believe we should, at least temporarily, donate more to countries in need. At the very least, this will raise our global image slightly. 2. Refugees should have a better reason for coming here than just bad farmland or a stock market crash. 3. As with Article II, we need to impose stricter border control, as terrorism is on the rise, as you have all seen in Deltaria. |

| Message | We agree with Article's I and II, as Malivians security should never be compromised. The MNP however, disagrees with Article III. Why are foreigners deserving of Malivians generosity? All taxes raised in Malivia should be used to improve Malivia and her people, not foreigners. |

| Message | We will support this. |
| Date | 23:44:07, August 16, 2007 CET | From | Militarist Party | To | Debating the Changes in Foreign Policy |
| Message | The bill will be modified if more parties disagree with Article III, but it stands for now. |
| Date | 07:09:31, August 17, 2007 CET | From |  Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Changes in Foreign Policy |
| Message | WE cannot support the second article. These people are entering our country as guests not convicts. |
| Date | 13:19:46, August 17, 2007 CET | From | Peoples Movement for an Obedient Society | To | Debating the Changes in Foreign Policy |
| Message | Article 3 is a sticking point for us. The other two arcticles have our full backing. The PMOS will agree to this bill under the understanding a new bill will be propsed to negate, or lower even, article 3. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
