| Message | Hm, UK over Germany... I don't really have any preference. But if we are going to make changes to the names of our government bodies, we might as well really stretch. This asks to go from one general run-of-the-mill name to another general run-of-the-mill name. I wouldn't mind change though, just to something spiffy. |

| Message | I was actually thinking of Grand Council. If I'm not mistaken, that is used by another nation, but only one other nation. How do you all feel about Prime Minister and Chancellor? |
| Date | 20:30:45, December 01, 2005 CET | From | National Fiscal Group | To | Debating the Rewording the Constitution |
| Message | A bit bland, to tell the truth. High Chancellor, First Councillor, Grand Council? |
| Date | 23:21:36, December 01, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party/Church of Kalistan | To | Debating the Rewording the Constitution |
| Message | How about High Chancellor, Grand Council and we have a Presidential system where the President is both Head of State and Head of Government. Or we could have a hereditary Monarchy in which we have Grand Emporer, High Chancellor, and Grand Council. |
