| Message | Wheras the UPD can of course, see the logic in withdrawing from the Keymon Neutrality Agreement, we cannot see any reason to withdraw from the SWFP at this time. -Anna Rochelle, Party Leader. |

| Message | I correct our esteemed leader: The UPD supports the withdrawal from the SWFP but not Keymon , however I must delve further, and ask, is it wise to withdraw from either? Surely, we should set standards for ourselves abroad? If we stick to this treaty, perhaps our foreign minister can begin to open up relations with Wantuni again and have the treaty ratified. -UPD Shadow Foreign Secretary: Lucas Charles (Chief Whip) |

| Message | The SRNP remains skeptical of Keymonian neutrality. The Head of State has been missing from his duties there for some time, and the island is at present dominated by Anarchists. You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows, as one of our songwriters once said, and in this instance I would be somewhat worried over the prospect of Keymon going against it's own stated goals from ages past. Supreme President Auric Myer |
| Date | 17:30:59, December 06, 2007 CET | From | Solentian People Party | To | Debating the Foreign Relations Act |
| Message | As discussions are currently devloping with the nations concerned, we don't agree with a withdrawal from these treaties. Timothy Cooper, Foreign Secretary to Solentia |

| Random fact: "Treaty-locking", or ratifiying treaties that completely or nearly completely forbid any proposals to change laws, is not allowed. Amongst other possible sanctions, Moderation reserves the discretion to delete treaties and/or subject parties to a seat reset if this is necessary in order to reverse a treaty-lock situation. |
