| Message | "We agree that they should be renamed, but rename them along the lines of Irish scum? It is an insult to the Anglo and Slavic cultures, both deeply rooted in Zardugal." -Fyodr Yamnik, Official Spokesman for the Saiserist League |

| Message | Lord Marshall is much better than An Taoiseach. Plus, Taoiseach reminds me too much of the atrocity of the IRA. |

| Message | Excellent. Gives exactly the kind of government the people need. We ardently support (Peregrine Falcon we're ambivalent about, but better than Hedgehog) |

| Message | We think Commander General would work better for the HoS, and maybe have Director General for the HoG. Then we could also keep the Directory, which sounds better that Respresentatives of the Nation. |

| Message | [IMG]http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m134/conorquinn/Zardugal-2.jpg[/IMG] This flag integrates the proposed national flag. It also, in my opinion, is a standard that our people can be proud of. |

| Message | Correction. It integrates the proposed national ANIMAL, not the flag. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |

With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm." - Harry Browne |
