| Message | We're deciding on a capital rather than a capitol, and if we're to have proper international relations we need somewhere that other nations can base their embassies. |

| Message | I've added the proposal to change the nation's name to the UQS. However, as I am not confident that the Nihilists will vote in favour and that this bill will fail by a small margin to win 2/3 of all votes, I shan't move to the voting phase until the Nihilists agree with this bill or elections that see parties that support the bill win enough seats. |

| Message | We cannot agree to this bill, it totally removes the essence of the nation. Whilst the government parties may be socialists we feel this is an attempt to eradicate the nation and turn us into a godless dicatorship. |

| Message | Let me restate that this has nothing to do with the ideology of the parties, but it's simply the economical system that has been the foundation of the Democratical Emirate for 20 years. The Emir is an office that does not exist anymore and it's just as pointless to keep its name on our country. |
