| Message | "The Unionists continue to support the right of individual community schools to hold school prayer however we do not wish to impose this upon other communities across Solentia." Fabian Trill, Unionist Legislative Lead |
| Date | 22:59:30, April 17, 2015 CET | From | Federal Green Party (FGP) | To | Debating the New Dawn Act |
| Message | Teacher-led prayers have no place in any place of learning. Superstitious beliefs are the antithesis of learning and critical thinking. |
| Date | 21:05:44, April 18, 2015 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the New Dawn Act |
| Message | "As is intolerance and ignorance. The FGP's obsession with the core sciences above social sciences and the humanities subjects repeatedly blur their judgement." Fabian Trill, Unionist Legislative Lead |
| Date | 15:29:21, April 19, 2015 CET | From | Communist Party of Solentia (CPS) | To | Debating the New Dawn Act |
| Message | We agree with the second proposal but not with the first one. FGP is right about core sciences, they will allow us to develop better technologies. Then we will have superior economy over capitalist countries and weapons to defeat evil capitalist countries. While social sciences and humanities won't help us to do that and therefore they're mostly waste of time, unless it's about how communism is better than capitalism. Rene Howell, SCNU Chairman |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
