| Message | It's rather entertaining, to me, that the House of Astredies was so closely allied with the Stanton House. |

| Message | We find this act, including its continued supplement, to be deeply offensive. While it is true that irreligious cultures exist -and is indeed quite popular - in Beluzia, not all cultures are irreligious, and for those cultures, religions are often the very foundations of their existence. This act, however, assume that religions are "corruption" and "harassment" to others. As far as we know, religious school is NOT complusary, and people are free to opt out of it. Is it not even more corrupting that our honourable colleagues for the Williams Clan to propose such an imperialistic act? Is the ideal of accepting all those in need and cooperate no longer one of Beluzia? |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
