| Message | Banning the defence industry seems a little off. Without that provision, we could have voted for this. |
| Date | 19:00:01, May 29, 2008 CET | From | Saiserist League | To | Debating the FGGP Bill: Make Love, Not War (part I) |
| Message | "You do realize that with these provisos, particularly the one about banning defense industries, any opportunistic nation, say... Zardugal, could just pop in and take over Hutori with reamrkable ease? As such I emphatically urge all parties of Hutori to back this rational and even-handed proposition." ~Message from Saiser Aleksandr II |

| Message | When actually invading, Zardugal would stand to gain an impressive amount of irradiated glass. Seriously. Why would anyone want to invade Hutori at this point? ~Christopher Taylor, Minister of Foreign Affairs |
