| Message | We have no idea what a Brmekai is, nor why they would dare to oppose Felinism. Opposing the sacredness of cats is akin to opposing gravity. Perhaps this is more trouble stirred up by the Luthorians who made the hate film "Ignorance of the Pussies: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5013" We must vote in strong opposition to this. -GALT FREYJA IV, Potentate |
| Date | 23:25:27, November 15, 2012 CET | From | Sháhazi Péashro | To | Debating the Progressive legislation |
| Message | This infringes of the rights of the Sanctuary governments, for no good reason whatsoever. We oppose this. Barmenian society has for a long time been built around the principle of subsidiary, to let ordinary cats be ordinary cats and ordinary people be ordinary people. - Mythene Sacramendouis, Parlourist (LSSCC) |
| Date | 00:08:44, November 16, 2012 CET | From | Brmékai Krsyiji Prta | To | Debating the Progressive legislation |
| Message | "Perhaps if the Potentate spent less time attempting to understand the mindless noises of cats he would have learnt some of the more basic terms in the languages of the people of his nation. We would also remind our Selucian colleague that an invader has no place lecturing trueborn sons of Barmenistan on how our society should function." -Zeki Mancurzkai |

| Message | Here in Barmenia we speak Purrlassian. We are unsure what Mr. Mancurzkai is speaking. |
| Date | 19:28:22, November 16, 2012 CET | From | Brmékai Krsyiji Prta | To | Debating the Progressive legislation |
| Message | Zeki Mancurzkai speaks curtly to an aide: "Dof staté bozumkai... Re orzy wakrjonyr hrerwa heija Nyré?..." Turning back to address the Parlour: "I should speak the language of the Unknown Devout when he led the people of Sisula out of oppression and into righteousness, of the Caliph Azi as he stood on the shores of Arakhim and declared the first United Barmenian state, of Murat when he kicked out the Dundorf fascists. The same language the Great Lion Haiyjmai Hrnesrmko roared as he drove the Selucians back across the sea, that Ertem Mehmet crafted when he talked the Hulstrians into leaving without a single drop of blood spilled. That is the langauge of our culture and our history. Instead I stand here speaking a language whose only mark on culture or history is that it sounds strkingly similar to the noises Mr. Tiddles makes while licking his orifaces in 'Ignorance of the Pussies'. This Parlour and it's members have brought shame on Barmenistan." -Zeki Mancurzkai |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
