| Message | We are in support of Article 1; as for 2, we would want the equal representation. We can't support Article 2 as is. |

| Message | That is we are okay with 36 months, but we would want equal regional representation. (It sometimes switches the order of the articles) |

| 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. |
