| Message | We do not wish to end the segregation by race, but by wealth only. All Nariki people should be citizens, and their rights should be protected. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, How dare you demean Imperia Narikaton with these false concepts. Are we to grant everyone citizenship as long as they enter this country? You are a fool, and please do not bring up these liberal concepts of marriage. We are a people of production. How can you achieve production, without reproduction? Only man and woman can go this, leave with these false teachings now. Sincerely, Nikolai Pravedne |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, All landowners are Narikatonites. No Numbers are allowed to own land. Thus while on paper the above proposal may sound perfect, it is already in place and thus is not need. Octavius de Augustin -Imperial Chancellor |
