| Message | Article 1: Decreases our total number of armed individuals available and distracts the military from their real purpose. Also, my militia is often out of country so this would leave Kuchifey without any security forces some of the time. Article 2: I've just decided to switch to being a pro-weapon, anti-weapon regulation party. |

| Message | What is their real purpose? We have no international relations to speak of at present, let alone hostile ones. Actually no it wouldn't, seeing as that Emirate is not under your control. Fair enough, strange shift to make |
