| Date | 13:24:28, November 25, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Proposed non-aggression treaty with Hobrazia |
| Message | Actually, due to a change of government the Selucians are out of the picture for now. I have negotiated the following updated terms. The term 'nations' in art 6 may be updated to account for our Imperial structure (we are after all 5 nations, not one).

Article 2 Should one of the signatory nations become the object of belligerent action by a third power, the other signatory nation shall in no manner lend its support to this third power. Article 3 The Governments of the two signatory nations shall consult together and exchange information on problems affecting their common interests. Article 4 Neither of the two signatory nations shall participate in any grouping of powers whatsoever that is directly or indirectly aimed at the other party. Article 5 Should disputes or conflicts arise between the signatory nations over problems of one kind or another, both parties shall settle these disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that peace and security are not endangered. Article 6 The signatory parties agree that the common defence of their nations from outside agression is vital to peace and stability of the region . The governments of the signatory nations agree to use all the military forces that are available, including land, naval, and air forces to come to the defence of each others nation during an act of agression against either nation by a foreign power.

| Message | Fine by me, although I am glad to see that WMDs are not to be used to defend our nations. |
| Date | 13:44:37, November 25, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Proposed non-aggression treaty with Hobrazia |
| Message | Since it is our policy to use nuclear force to save the lives of our servicemen, we may have to cross the nuclear threshold if our conventional forces are drawn into a situation they cannot win. It would be inappropriate in my opinion, however, to offer our nuclear forces directly to protect a third party, who may unilaterally disarm at any time making the deal one-sided. |
| Date | 05:11:04, November 26, 2005 CET | From | United Conservative Party | To | Debating the Proposed non-aggression treaty with Hobrazia |
| Message | Nuclear weapons with a first strike capability. That's the best treaty we could sign. You know it makes sense. |

| Message | RnP: is it the terms you are voting against or the alliance in principle? |
| Date | 23:28:48, November 26, 2005 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Proposed non-aggression treaty with Hobrazia |
| Message | We need to worry less about every other nation, and more on buffing our means to defend ourselves. IE:More weapon research and development. The more resources we spend on protecting others, is less we have to spend on ourselves. |

| Date | 13:15:38, November 28, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Proposed non-aggression treaty with Hobrazia |
| Message | If this was reworded as a non-aggression treaty, instead of a mutual assistance pact, would it have more support? |
