| Message | This treaty is as absurd as the original. Slavery is a vital Beluzian industry, and any "liberal" party that attempts to restrict free trade is suffering from doublethink. |
| Date | 15:52:53, November 02, 2007 CET | From | Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Repeal of the Jelbanian Economic and Trade Sanctions Resolution |
| Message | Slavery is illegal in Beluzia - its practice is punishable under criminal statues. |

| Message | Slavery is only recently illegal here, due to the planned economic policies of a "liberal" party opposed to the free market. |

| Message | Slave trafficking continues unabated, exponentially increased by the profit incentives criminalization always creates. Human rights standards are of course forgotten, now that things are exclusively run by the black market... |
