| Message | These names are relics of our past. We must be forward thinking if we are to succeed in the future world, and not tied inexorably to our past. We are entirely open to compromise, however. |
| Date | 15:33:17, August 28, 2007 CET | From | Bull Moose Party | To | Debating the Tukarali Nomenclature Reform Act |
| Message | Well, we are the United Tribes of Tukarali. I think that some nod must be made, as our tribal history is reflected in our nation's name. Perhaps just the first three proposals? |

| Message | I can see your point, but we can't help but feel that a tribe is a people, rather than a region. |

| Message | It's part of or history, and it's something that makes us unique. The current names are way more original than your proposal "Great Chieftain" versus "President" "Tribal Chanchellor" versus "Chanchellor" "Grand Tribal Council" versus "Legislative Council" Just look at the other nations. At least half of them use the term "president", which is rather dull and unoriginal. http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewnations.php |

| Message | Our people no longer live in tribes - they are urban, living in an industrialised society. We're not tied to those titles in particular, but we feel they should at least be made less backward, compared to what they are now. |
| Date | 12:48:24, August 31, 2007 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Tukarali Nomenclature Reform Act |
| Message | Less backward? I think they're fine. Ya know, actually, the very first HoS title was "Big Hairy Chief" (that was before my time, but it cracked me up when I first heard it), but then they changed it to "Great Chieftain", and that stuck. :) |

| Message | The use of the 'Tribe' denomination and the current titles by which positions of Government are referred to are accurate indicators of the makeup and character of this nation. Perhaps when the CTWF takes power, we shall seek to change these titles. But for now, for you, they are perfectly apt. |
| Date | 15:56:48, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Tukarali Nomenclature Reform Act |
| Message | We find the idea that your party will hold any position of substantial power laughable. That said, we still wish to at least change the names referring to the regions. |
| Date | 21:38:10, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Tuatha Dé Danann | To | Debating the Tukarali Nomenclature Reform Act |
| Message | Those who do not heed the past, will not advance in the future. Removing an open reflection of our roots is not a good idea. |
