| Message | Before I add any actual proposals, I would like to know what the members of the coalition believe we should use with regards to new names. As is known I would like names such as Congress & Head of Congress, and wouldn't mind seeing the national mascot changed to something other than a Manatee ... maybe a Phoenix, to show that Rutania has risen from the ashes to stand firm in this new day! |

| Message | We would approve of changing the national animal to the Phoenix or another noble bird. (No eagles, though. Everyone has an eagle.) Keep in mind that name changes and such need two-thirds of the legislature to pass, though. Since the Anarcho-Capitalist Party controls more than 250 seats, they could prevent us from passing any name change just by abstaining. We might still be able to get them to agree to something better than the manatee, though. (-: |
