| Message | We propose that this treaty be ratified forthwith. Rutania already pursues a Free Trade policy, and this will simply create a trade zone between us and another, neutral country. It is win-win. |
| Date | 14:35:32, December 15, 2005 CET | From |  Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Barmenistan Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Despite our isolationism and objections to infringements on sovereignty, a free trade agreement is something we support and we support this bill |
| Date | 14:27:48, December 16, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Barmenistan Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | The hypocricy is astounding! You OPPOSE any and all human rights treaties with the argument that "they infringe upon the sovereignty of Parliament", yet you favour free trade agreements? |
| Date | 14:28:38, December 16, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Barmenistan Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | We favour closer economic ties, but we shall veto this Act just to make a clear statement towards the hypocrite Capitalist Coalition. |
| Date | 16:36:27, December 16, 2005 CET | From | Radical Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Barmenistan Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | We are very dissapointed, and will have to propose this again or ask the Foreign Minister to do so when the RDSP and Conservatives no longer hold one third of the vote together. |
| Date | 18:46:33, December 16, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Barmenistan Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Don't get this wrong, we will support this at a later date, but we would like to clearly demonstrate the Capitalist Coalition's hypocricy. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
