| Message | To us, national security is more important than anything else. |
| Date | 05:38:01, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Foreign Travel Act |
| Message | That would make sense, except for this deals with our citizens traveling outside of Lodamun. Therefore this bill has no national security element to it whatsoever. |
| Date | 05:53:21, July 25, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Foreign Travel Act |
| Message | Well, we have had cases of internal terrorism before and we certainly want to make sure everyone who receives a passport from us is a law-obeying citizen. |
| Date | 06:02:16, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Foreign Travel Act |
| Message | if one of our own citizens is going to commit an act of terror, it should be the responsibility of our intelligence agency to get him, not the foreign office. |
| Date | 10:26:28, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the Foreign Travel Act |
| Message | We must agree with the Liberals. Strident checks must be made to ensure that false passport applications aren't accepted. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
