| Message | OOC (Because unless we role play a war or national disaster, this isn't an in character bill): I do hate to vote against you, especially as this is your first bill, but this move doesn't make sense. No point in changing capitals as, well, there's no point. As for the states, I like "Province". I like referring to local governments as Provincial governments and not State governments. State is very bland, in my opinion, and by the looks of things, that of the National Directory. Rest assured this will be one of the few times we disagree with each other, I'm sure. |

| Message | I'll also vote no, sorry. No point in moving the capital. I'd have no real objection to changing the name of a province to a state, although it's a bit American....and a bit pointless. |
