| Message | Mr Speaker, VD opposes this law in principle. Although we understand why it might be more mutually beneficial for Dorvik and other nations to have this law in place, we cannot condone the allowing of foriegn nationals... representatives of governments or not, to be able to break the law in Dorvik with no criminal repurcussions. |

| Message | We urge the VD to reconsider, if this law is passed we can sign a Dundorfian treaty. Even though our party is against this law even we wish to make a sacrifice in order to promote good relations with one of our southern neighbours and their allies. Minister of Foreign Affairs Emma Romer |

| Message | Herr Speaker, I believe when I first brought up the idea of signing the treaty you mentioned ceding to some of the demands of the treaty and this was one of them. You have a strong point but in order for us to promote good relations with other nations on Artania we must cede things such as this. Ilari Bogomolov, People's Chamber Party Leader of the DKP. |
