| Message | We will support Articles 1 and 6. Article 2 (the flag) is not going good for me. As for the title of the head of government, we are fine with Prime Minister. And finally, Article 5, I'm not sure we should be including God in our motto... |

| Message | We have removed the Prime Minister and Flag proposals. A Garuda is a kind of eagle found in South and South-East Asian mythology. As for the motto, I have changed it to something more light-hearted that I hope we can agree on: Si non confectus, non reficiat: If it's not broken, don't fix it. |

| Message | Well if it's a mythological animal then I don't think it should be our national animal.... Why not just have the eagle as our national animal? It's strong, swift, cunning - good qualities of a nation. And as for the motto, we'll be seen as a nation who never changes if we go by the whole "don't fix if not broken" ideology. My suggestion for a motto is: A posse ad esse - From possibility to actuality |

| Message | Its silly for us to be using latin mottos, we are a sultanate, not a republican government after all. New proposal: Wal Adalati Wal Salam. Translation: Justice and Peace. NOTE: Imagiary animals are allowed (just look at the Selucian Empire, there's is a dragon) The Garuda is the messenger of the god's, regal, fierce, and powerful. Everything the eagle embodies, yet more original and far less generic. Any nation can have an eagle be it's national animal. |

| Message | Very well, your proposal good with us. We will vote to support it. |
