Message | It is the policy of the government of the Pontesian Dynastic Empire, acting under the authority and agreement by The Supreme Governer of the Church of Pontesi Emperor Richard I, that Jewish relocation to Beiteynu is necessary to ensure peaceful coexistant of both nation in Majatran. As such, we should not grant them citizenship, but instead request that Beiteynu recognize the population as the citizen of their nation. |

Message | We do not agree because the Jews are not necessarily a united mass, and members of this society who live within our borders may fully intend to stay here. The treatment of the Jewish peoples as a fully united group in opinion and the treatment of, leads our party to fear an anti-semitic flare to your party. |

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. |
Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
