| Message | "I cannot believe my eyes. You come to this country as foreigners by the grace of the M.A.R.C. policy of non-intervention, especially our liberal immigration laws. You take command and then change the policies that you yourself benefited from? Do you admit your wrong-doing? Regardless, we agree that non-intervention is no longer palatable. We will agree to a policy change, but this one as is cannot pass. If you were to lower the severity of the bill, we would be willing to vote favorably." |

| Message | "If you look at our history as the New Imperial Party of Selucia, you would see that we are cultural (not ethnic) nationalists, and no friends of mass immigration. The issue of Selucian immigration unto the Pontesi realm and vice versa is a special case, as might immigrants from the land of the Cats be to some degree, but we do not wish to seek mass-immigration from Majatran countries wanting to live on our welfare. If article 1 is unacceptable to you, we are open to lower it's severity." |

| Message | "I couldn't give a damn about what you used to be in Selucia. You came during a mass immigration, and now that you have power you wish to solidify it. If you wish to lower the severity, do so to all three articles and then perhaps we will support you." - Chairman Benedict Klein, M.A.R.C. |

| Message | The continued ill-will towards Majatrans shows the unacceptable ethnocentric-mindset of the Crusaders. Until the party is devoid of racial supremacists and their actions no longer support a racially-dominated nation, the NLA will continue to oppose the actions of the Crusade by any means necessary. |

| Message | We vote on this if you vote for our bill. |

| Message | The fascist NLA, representing 15.87% of the people, doesn't understand the principles of cultural nationalism. We believe that there are norms, traditions and fundamental values that all have to practice more or less to be part of society. We are not ethnocentric. We just realise that Majatrans need to be assimilated into our society. It's the NLA who are ethnocentric, ethno-nationalist fascists who want to introduce apartheid against the Selucian-born. |
| Date | 01:35:57, January 16, 2012 CET | From | New Lerna Affiliation | To | Debating the Immigration restriction act |
| Message | "We fail to see how you are not ethnocentric when you have been so vocal in your wish to exterminate the Majatrans and your denial of the existence of the Pntek people. Do you deny these claims?" |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
