| Date | 17:15:47, July 12, 2008 CET | From | Federal Party | To | Debating the Military buildup |
| Message | The Federal Party wishes to know exactly what the NeoNPPE means when they say a rise in communist states in the world? From our count, there are only three nations on Terra that have openly proclaimed themselves to be communist. Could this not be simple paranoia in reaction to the extremities of our northern neighbor? |
| Date | 17:27:18, July 12, 2008 CET | From | NPPE | To | Debating the Military buildup |
| Message | Sorry i meant in Keris. Both New Endralon and Trigunia are run by the KCCP and we have been openly threatened with war if we do not submit. Paranoia? Of course in this situation. |
| Date | 18:22:25, July 12, 2008 CET | From | Federal Party | To | Debating the Military buildup |
| Message | Federal presidential candidate Vincent Harling is willing to travel to both the Trigunskaya Sotsalisticheskaya Respublika and the Free Commonwealth of New Endralon to negotiate the situation. If his application is turned down or if negotiations fail, then, although the Federal Party runs on a platform of non-violence and pacifism, we will submit to increased military spending and, if necessary, a declaration of war on either country. |
| Date | 14:37:12, July 13, 2008 CET | From | (KCCP) Comité Radical Comunista | To | Debating the Military buildup |
| Message | The Comité Radical Comunista has contacted our comrades on the central committee on the possibility of negations. We must warn our countrymen of the dangers of provoking the KCCP into a war, and the suffering it will entail for both the workers and peasants of Egelion and Keris as a whole. Yours Aarón Odei. |

| Message | I was under the impression that the current civil defense policy made more defense structures then having government run ones. |
