| Message | The 5 Lions represent the 5 republics of Lodamun. The Red represents labour and the hard work of the people of Lodamun. The Yellow represents optimism and outgoing nature of the people of Lodamun. Separating them is the color black representing the elegance and power of the nation. I feel this flag better represents the nation, and look forward to its passage. |

| Message | Despite voting against the cabinet, I think the new design is very good and as President, I will be endorsing it and I would ask all parties to think about doing so as well. |

| Message | Perhaps someone could explain what the old flag actually means? I don't see how it represents our nation at all. |

| Message | There was actually an old flag used to represent a monarchy. It remained as the Lodamese flag for decades until the new flag was adopted. Your suggested flag is too busy, and I am unconvinced it is any sort of improvement. |
| Date | 03:32:24, September 18, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Flag Ammendment |
| Message | This falg symbolism is simple. It represents the five Republics united as a whole to make the United Republics of Lodamun. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
