| Message | You should probably separate them proposal by proposal, some of these i would agree with on their own, but have to reject this |
| Date | 17:54:50, March 17, 2014 CET | From | Telamon Nationellpartiet-Republikansk | To | Debating the Establishing. |
| Message | The proposal on titles to nobility is an insult to the revolution, we will never accept anything like this |
| Date | 18:53:36, March 17, 2014 CET | From | Representatives of The Life Giving Bush | To | Debating the Establishing. |
| Message | Which ones would be accepted and which won't? As for titles of nobility this is merely foreign politeness. When foreign politics and important people come we can forbid them from using their title. It is something they earned in their country and we must respect that, but we don't have to grant them special rights. |
| Date | 03:18:29, March 18, 2014 CET | From | Telamon Nationellpartiet-Republikansk | To | Debating the Establishing. |
| Message | 8, 7 and 1 would probably be acceptable to us. We should not show those who cling to outdated decorations any respect for it, they should be treated as equals on merit not because thy hold some title |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
