Upon reformation to democracy after a short time of monarchy, the name of the nation was entitled "Democratic Republic". Senators, I cannot express enough my dedication to the principle of democracy however I believe in tradition and I believe in our heritage as a nation. I therefore make the call for unity to take that final step of restoration, together and redeclare that this country is a proud one, an ancient one, a democratic one, that this country shall once again be know across Terra as; The Millennial Republic of Solentia." - Mykail Rafferty, Supreme President ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Article 1: That the name of the nation be; "The Millennial Republic of Solentia" - This bill is a change to the constitution and will require a 2/3rds majority of the Senate to vote in favour. |

| Message | "It was not really a discussion about what individuals might prefer, it was in relation to restoring our national heritage. This is a point that the LPC continually seems to blithely ignore." Mykail Rafferty, Supreme President |
| Date | 21:09:38, March 08, 2015 CET | From | Federal Green Party (FGP) | To | Debating the Millennial Republic Act 3812 |
| Message | Other parties do not care as much for heritage or traditions. The Reform Option as well as the LPC wish to move forward rather than look backwards. Names change all the time, this is nothing new and it is not a bad thing. Imagine if all nations kept the same names for eternity. We would see some very different nations out there in the world today. As time changes and populations change it is fitting for names to change as well. In any case, we have no problem with the name as you suggested it. It is an improvement from the current name. Just wanted to give our two cents in regards to this discussion.

| Message | "Other parties come and go. They try to change the system. Sometimes they succeed. But century after century, the Unionists outlive them. For 1000 years, we've defended this Republic against change after change. Every time, even if it takes a while, even if it looks lost...we restore. We rebuild. We protect. So go right ahead. Change it. Be careless about heritage and tradition. Because in another 1000 years, we will still be here. The Republic will still be here. And nobody will remember what you prefer." Mykail Rafferty, Supreme President |

| Message | "Mykail Rafferty, if change is good, why can't we have change? Plus, your party has changed drastically over the years. You used to support a 0% corporation tax... http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=153903 " ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | "The Act you are referring to was when the Unionists were the "Conservative and Morality Party". We have never said that change was good. Nor did we say that we have not changed at all. What we have said is that no matter what changes are made, the Unionists will only restore the Republic in 30-40-100 years." Mykail Rafferty, Supreme President |
