| Date | 00:46:32, December 21, 2008 CET | From | Rhodes Front | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | Hmmm I'm not a fan of the flag tbh. |
| Date | 01:49:06, December 21, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | I just put it there because I couldn't find anything else, but we can definitely go with another flag. Here are my preferences so far: 1. Royal Union of Quanzar 2. Parliament 3. Aldurian System 4. New flag suggestion and my preference: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Estandarte_Imperial_de_Rusia.png Also, please suggest some city names. |

| Message | Howdy all, I'd be more then happy to make a flag for the new Monarchy in Quanzar to do my part since I can't be on the front lines with you all. Just tell me what symbols and colors you want. |
| Date | 02:29:49, December 22, 2008 CET | From | Order of the Golden Crown | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | We agree with the HRs most recent proposals, especially the Imperial Russian Flag. For the Head of Government title, we suggest "Lord Protector" |
| Date | 06:29:21, December 22, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | If the Imperial Russian flag is not acceptable to the Rhodesian Front then we might ask the Hulstro-Trigunian Crown Alliance to make us one. |
| Date | 14:54:19, December 22, 2008 CET | From | Hulstro-Trigunian Crown Alliance | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | Just tell us what you want on it and we'll do our best. |
| Date | 19:04:42, December 22, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | We have achieved 2/3. Make your last minute suggestions/opinions before I put this to a vote. |
| Date | 19:26:19, December 22, 2008 CET | From | Order of the Golden Crown | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | The 2/3 is sort of questionable, since we only have 66.4%, not exactly 2/3, so it may or may not work. To test it, I'll make a separate bill with article 1, "The Head of State is hereditary and symbolic; the Head of Government chairs the cabinet," which we all agree on. That way, we can know if our super-majority is really there. BTW, one slight modification "III. PARLIAMENT 3. There shall be One Parliament for Canada..." |
| Date | 19:35:04, December 22, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | Yes that has been corrected. Hmm, you're right, we might be 1 seat off... |
| Date | 21:08:25, December 22, 2008 CET | From | Hulstro-Trigunian Crown Alliance | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | Here's our proposal for the flag: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/particracy/images/b/b4/Quanzari_Flag_Proposal.PNG The wreath and colors (silver and crimson) come from the last free Quanzar flag. The crown is for the monarchy. |
| Date | 05:24:50, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | Nice flag, but if the Rhodesian Front has no objections then we'll go with the Imperial Russian flag for now. This can always be changed later, the main thing now is pushing for the Anglo monarchy now that we have a supermajority. |
| Date | 05:29:46, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | Putting to a vote. Keep in mind that a lot of these can be changed later on anyways. |
| Date | 05:49:09, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Rhodes Front | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | How about changing the name of the nation to anything less Italian than it currently is. |
| Date | 05:50:34, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | You oppose 'Royal Union of Quanzar'? |
| Date | 06:12:33, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Rhodes Front | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | I'd prefer Royal Union of Quanzari. |
| Date | 06:28:33, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Hessexian Arab Royalists | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | Isn't Quanzari the demonym (i.e. what we call people who live in Quanzar)? |
| Date | 06:42:44, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Order of the Golden Crown | To | Debating the Constitution Act |
| Message | That's what I thought. I've been using "Quanzaran," just because I like the sound better. |
