| Message | Energy distrubution is still left in the hands of the private sector and believe the production of energy through the public sector has been benefical. Having unregulated post offices? There has to be some provisions, besides this law has been around for more than 60 years, and change isn't needed. |
| Date | 20:56:44, February 23, 2009 CET | From | Hulstrian People's Alliance | To | Debating the Privitization Act of 2716 |
| Message | Absolutely not. The idea of moving essential services into the private sphere, particularly without regulation, would be laughable were it not for the fact that the KVP appears serious. |

All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
