| Message | You seem to wish our nation to be nothing more than a bleak wasteland devoid of natural life. Our national parks preserve the beauty of the Republic for its people and give them a chance to escape the noise of cities, while public parks help beautify the cities themselves. |

| Message | We agree with the UC and are disturbed the President feels this way. |
| Date | 00:42:02, October 18, 2005 CET | From | National Socialists | To | Debating the Abolishing National Parks Act |
| Message | Unfortunately, the NS majority is convinced that this measure is a too big step to take. We do not oppose a decrease in the funds going to national parks, but going from A to Z in one step would not be a good thing and the money invested so far would be for nothing. We would like to choose a more subtle way of lowering the funds. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? 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. |
