| Message | Mr. Speaker How does this benefit Hutori in the slightest changing our Provinces into States? Aria Woodbury Founder and President of the Royalist Movement of Hutori |

| Message | OOC: And on a more personal point can we not... I've literally been fighting tooth and nail to stop Hutori from becoming just another United States clone. Province at the very least keeps to our "Canadian" identity |
| Date | 20:51:51, February 09, 2016 CET | From | Federal Heritage Party of Hutori | To | Debating the The States Act |
| Message | OOC: Our Canadian identity really isn't in jeopardy. I mean Luthori (the game equivalent of the UK) doesn't really have an effective in game presence. So it would logically follow that after Luthori's collapse the Hutorian government would reform a little. A proper President instead of a President of the Privy Council and a VP instead of a Prime Minister seem like reasonable changes. However, in this regard it doesn't make much sense to change the name of sub-national divisions. |

| Message | OOC: Oh I don't mind the President and Vice President... well VP I did mostly on principle :P, but going to States just doesn't make much sense to me |
| Date | 21:02:03, February 09, 2016 CET | From | Federal Heritage Party of Hutori | To | Debating the The States Act |
| Message | OOC: Yeah I don't think the change to State makes much sense either. |
| Date | 19:25:29, February 10, 2016 CET | From | Freedom and Nationalist Alliance | To | Debating the The States Act |
| Message | OOC: I kind of like the word state better but it's probably just my Americanity, IC: Well, This is a semi-useless bill currently, but as time progresses, politics tends to evolve! |
| Date | 21:02:57, February 10, 2016 CET | From | Federal Heritage Party of Hutori | To | Debating the The States Act |
| Message | OOC: I am American but, I still would like to be different from all of the other nations who the same government as the US. |
| Date | 02:53:21, February 11, 2016 CET | From | National Progressive Union | To | Debating the The States Act |
| Message | OOC: I can't help but agree with the Federalist on this. Province is fine for me, I see no reason in changing it |
