| Message | We consider this bill unacceptable because it abolishes the monarchy. We ARE committed to promoting democracy, but we believe that this can be accomplished with the Sultan. The Sultan has done an excellent job as a constitutional-monarch. Out of all the proposals, we only consider Articles 2, 6, and 9 to be acceptable. Also Article 6 has already been mentioned in one of our own bills titled Administration Reform of 3420. |

| Message | The sultan has kept this country together. The previous republic brought this country to a brink of civil war. The second republic divided this country for almost 16 years. Which involved other monarchies to intervene and restore the House of al-Amun. We dont need another civil war. http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Jakanian_Civil_War |

| Message | OOC: Also this country's name is about to be changed and cant be changed after 10 years. |

| Message | We urge you to revise this bill! |
| Date | 03:39:20, January 05, 2013 CET | From | People's Communist Party of Jakania | To | Debating the The Republic Act |
| Message | The bill has been revised. This is our last offer. We will move this bill to a vote soon. |
| Date | 17:19:58, January 05, 2013 CET | From | Party of Jakanian Union and Progress | To | Debating the The Republic Act |
| Message | This is the Sultanate of Jakania founded by the House Turjak in 1100 not Deltaria. The Grand Vizier assumes role like any prime ministers of today's constitutional monarchies. If you wish to remove our language then at least change it to Grand Vizier (Prime Minister). But we're willing to remove the nobility. |
