| Message | "As Terra's smallest country, we cannot count on our conventional military alone to defend ourselves. We need to have contingency plans and deterrents, and this is one such contingency plan. It is worth pointing out that, including Keymon, only 4 nations in all of Terra have pledged never to develop nuclear weaponry. (Hutori, Cobura, and Kazulia are the others.) We have fallen dangerously behind our neighbours here." - Roy Bain, DPM Defense Critic |

| Message | And what is good on killing enemy with nuclear bomb, the radiation will be bad for us too. Or u hope that pollution even on our side or their will make someone happy? The area will not be used for hundred years. I hope that naval and fyrd with ABD is the best way we could form our defense. Then we should probably start thinking about information security and our safety in this technology revolution. |

| Message | "But if we get nuked then at least we can return fire. Simply put people will think twice before striking us if we can strike back just as hard, It's called mutually assured destruction and it is the main reason nuclear weapons are never likely to be used again." --Rev. Timothy Taylor, Deputy Chairman, BWP |
