| Message | This allows men with more than one wife to have more than one wife here too. |
| Date | 04:57:02, December 22, 2007 CET | From | Saiserist League | To | Debating the Freedom of Marriage Act |
| Message | "The wives can divorce the man, you know. But this means we declare any man married to more than one woman, which may be the custom in other countries, invalid. That is nothing short of imperialism. We can still extend full rights to all nationals, and fight for those rights to be enforced overseas. We can try to make those nations that endorse polygamy to adopt a more enlightened attitude towards marriage, but that does not mean we should consider it invalid if it is legal in the nation where it was conducted." -Grigori Huninyev, Second Secretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
| Date | 02:55:27, December 23, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Marriage Act |
| Message | Its our nation. If they do not like it they can go back where they came from |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
