| Message | We should reserve the right to use nuclear weaponry either in response to any attack or where victory is not feasible by other means. We owe it to our soldiers and citizens not to stand idly by and watch them be massacred, when we have weapons that could put an end to their suffering. |
| Date | 18:56:12, October 09, 2007 CET | From | People's Revolutionary Committee | To | Debating the Weapons Reforms |
| Message | I think that this a step in the right direction. My committee believes in M.A.D. and that retaliation with WMDs will only bring more destruction and suffering to both sides. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
