| Message | Uh, not to sound dumb, but this test isn't for immigrants, but for people born in this country? For nationals? Really? |

| Message | Can we make another citizenship requirement - joining The Tears of Termani? |
| Date | 10:47:04, January 11, 2006 CET | From | Likaton Fascist Front | To | Debating the Cultural Understanding Bill (ii) |
| Message | Indeed. We have already proposed this in the past (ie a state religion and membership is mandatory). PSS notes the JLP suggestion for possible implementation in the future. |

| Message | Response to the JLP: Nationals are not necessarily those born in Likatonia.... Nationals are those who identify Likatonia as their 'nation of residence'. Not all nationals are citizens. |

| Message | RLP would support if is is to be applied universally, to all who wish to be full citizens of our fair land. |

| Message | Hmm, we are unsure as to what citizenship actually entails, in what way is it different from the status of a national? |
| Date | 14:29:07, January 19, 2006 CET | From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the Cultural Understanding Bill (ii) |
| Message | So... if you're parents are citizens, and you're born within the borders of Likatonia, are you automatically granted non-citizenship status? This is simply just ridiculous. |
| Date | 09:17:27, January 26, 2006 CET | From | Likaton Fascist Front | To | Debating the Cultural Understanding Bill (ii) |
| Message | Why should we give citizenship to people for no particular reason. The idea of citizenship is love of one's country and this is not something to be handed out lightly. |
| Date | 14:35:40, January 26, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Cultural Understanding Bill (ii) |
| Message | We shall follow the lead of our allies in the AM SLP in this matter. |
