Message | OOC note; as per usual, even if the Bill passes, the name change will need 75% to be enacted. |
Date | 15:53:43, February 02, 2008 CET | From | Okhranka | To | Debating the Unifying the nation |
Message | I'm surprised you want to change the name of Likatonia. "Axis Mundi Res Publica" is unique and original; "People's Condfederation" just sounds bland. |
Date | 18:54:21, February 02, 2008 CET | From | General Confederation of Labour | To | Debating the Unifying the nation |
Message | You want the confederation but you want to centralize everything, I think this country is a mental hospital... |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
