Message | We suggest the following three; A posse ad esse - From possibility to actuality. Inventas vitam iuvat excoluisse per artes - Let us improve life through science and art. Ipsa scientia potestas est - Knowledge itself is power. Of course we're open to other suggestions as well. |

Message | I like this one: A posse ad esse - From possibility to actuality. The others sound more like a company motto then a country |

Message | I spent a lot of time making a complete grammar of Tsekwon. It's currently undergoing a slow change to make the phonology more attractive and the grammar less agglutinative, but maybe you should take a look at the Tsekwon article on the wiki to gain some appreciation of the tongue. And in any case, why change the motto to a language that few of you even understand? Why change the motto from something that marks our individuality to some prepackaged, brand-name cliche? What next, will we have a "Parliament" and a "Prime Minister," will we become some typical, common, bland, uncreative liberal country devoted to some naive Utopian tendencies of peace and liberty? By god, where did your imaginations go? There are plenty of liberal democratic nations in the real world! In particracy we have the chance to make something unique and experimental, to produce cultures and systems of government unlike any that have existed! So at the very least, let's NOT choose a language like French or Latin and let's NOT inscribe some overused naive filth into our nation's international countenance. |

Message | Latin is one of Sekowos oficial languages, so there is atleast a large minority that speaks it, plus many who speak it as a second language. I don't like the terms Parliament of Prime Minister, and there's nothing wrong for striving for Liberty and Peace. |

Message | We can strive for Liberty and Peace in a more innovative way. |
