| Message | I'm a bit concerned by Article 1. Surely that is just a step towards complete anarchy. Invading an individual's home and doing pretty much what the government pleases is a timid proposal. |

| Message | Well, we are sure the CDP speaks in the best way to advocate the people. But we have to stress the point the Empire has aditionally laws dealing with compensation. In these laws people have a) the right to get compensation for the case the government seizes the property and b) the people can demand a revisit if they feel the compensation is too less. These aditionally laws make sure no government can seize properties for nuts but offers the Empire to do her duties to secure the beloved citizens and to strengthen the Empire's position in the present dark times. |

This is the kind of jingoistic ideology Zardugal would bring to the Security Council. They will throw countless lives away in pursuit of former glory." - Prince Akhaias, former Coburan royal |
