| Message | "The nation imposes strict border control on visitors, with intensive security checks, to maintain law and order" To maintain law and order... that's why the law is set like this. The Rald Party can't allow our national security to be put at risk. Sorry. |

| Message | "Individuals have liberties too, not just states. This is an issue of people's rights, and they don't deserve to be thoroughly inspected and harrassed by border security on the minimal chance that one of them is both malicious enough and foolish enough to be caught. Besides, it will help tourism and thus give our economy that little bit of stimulus that always helps. We are not trying to jeopardize our nation, and this bill won't. As long as their identity is confirmed and they are legally resident within the country we cannot treat them like criminals. This bill will cut unnecessary and harmful costs, boost tourism and thus the economy, and affirm Zardugal's embrace of civil liberties." -Karl von Friedricht, First Secretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |

| Message | We agree with what the Rald Party has said. |
| Date | 08:13:45, December 06, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the National Borders Bill |
| Message | "Yes, this is about civil liberties. Zardugalies have the right to live in their country knowing that whoever comes in is cleared by the government after a series of intensive checks." ~Ruben Memorial, Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
