| Message | its only the motto that refers to the Monarchy, this is just the URP forcing their agenda on the nation. The Parliment shows how the nation is a free nation and the people are free. |

| Message | The Lion is a royal symbol. The flag features a royal crest. As for the name of the Legislature. It was changed by the NP to highlight division. Free Peoples instead of Free People. Lodamun may have many ethnic group, but we are one people, sir. i think it's wise we dispose of that title. |

| Message | Actually, it's true - when dealing with that kind of pluralization, an added "s" at the end of a word like "people" oftentimes refers to many different kinds of people. Take the word "fish," for example. "Fish" refers to multiple animals of exactly the same variety. Many white fish. The word "fishes" indicates that there are multiple varieties of animal. Many white and black fishes. However, considering Lodamun isn't made up of only white people - we think it's only fitting that the name remains. |

| Message | That's exactly why it needs to be changed. It's divisive. |
