| Message | Would prefer to see the nobility confer no rights whatsoever. Title can continue, but no rights should be carried. |

| Message | OOC: This is extremely shameful. You are reshaping Badara into a bland, dull generic republic. "President"? "Prime Minister"? "Parliament"? "Regions"? Are you trolling or what? Get serious and try to have some originality, and respect the cultural integrity and continuity of Badara. If you wanted to "nuke" a country en masse, then you could at least have chosen another bland english-speaking nation that already exists in the game. |

| Message | OOC: 'renaming key parts of its political system to remove extravagance' Are you trying to be the worst players ever in this game? Also, Badara is ARABIC. If you don't like it, too bad so sad. Either adjust or move. |

| 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. |
