Message | "My honour, the man that stands accused before us to is nothing short of a brutal tyrant. He is a ruthless, calculating, blood-thirsty, barbarian who deliberately sought to exterminate the great people of Likatonia. After planting a bomb inside his own congress - blaming Likatonia - and forging a 'destabilisation plan' - again blamed on Likatonia - he declared a state of emergency. This state of emergency provided the requisite cover for him to undertake his horrific and gut-wrenching crimes. The evidence presented to this court will show beyond a reasonable doubt that not only is Edward Royaliwith guilty, but he is wretched and despicable individual." - Prosecuting Attorney Dombrovskis |

Message | "first of all I did not plant a bomb on my own people! We knew it was this very government the likaton government that did that. That destabilization plan we found was from your government I tried to warn our own cabinet but they remained blind. I then had to proceed to declare a state of emergency show the true nature of this crisis. I tried to reason with my government but they did not see the warning signs. I took matters in my own hands by enacting the Unlimited Powers Plan rightfully passed in our Supreme Congress in 3241. I will state again we did not have intentions to kill any ethnic Likatons in Kenyon. Many people died in vain and under horrible terms. I had no intentions of an-y of this. Your government though committed more crimes than any government on this world! Long live the people of Keymon I ment no harm to them. I'm so sorry" -Edward Royaliwith |

Message | "The ATR, as you well know, is nothing more than a communist front. I submit to you that you fully intended on establishing a communist totalitarian state on Western Meria!

You therefore decided to exterminate the Likatonians on Western Meria, didn't you?!" - Prosecuting Attorney Dombrovskis |
