| Message | After reading over all of these treaties and organizations in great deal, I have come to the conclusion that whilst some may be beneficial in numerous ways to the Nation of Rutania, far more of them are deterimental. My vote, and that of my party, lies with the Progressive Libertarian Organized Party, in that we should remove ourselves and our Nation from these treaties which provide only a detrimental aspect to our Nation and lifestyles. |

| Message | We would have been happier had these treaty withdrawals been proposed one at a time. It is a moot point now, though, as the bill has gathered enough votes to pass. |

| 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. |
