| Date | 20:00:47, July 02, 2011 CET | From | Social Anarchy Party | To | Debating the Deregulation Act |
| Message | Again with the stock markets!! NO will be our only answer until it can be proven that unregulated stock markets give equality. |
| Date | 01:13:51, July 03, 2011 CET | From | Unified Scientists Party | To | Debating the Deregulation Act |
| Message | We are against any unregulated banking/stock market system and there is no budge on this topic. Also, energy shall not be a private industry in Deltaria. Energy is a strong national security interest which we should keep tight in control. The costs of unregulated power companies has cause great amounts of cost increase to the end user without and real reason for that cost. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
