| Message | We need a more central authority; if it is too fractured, the second we see the possibility of conflict, the regions will all try to seperate. We must secure the hold of the Central Government on the sub-national entities. |

| Message | Also, if we leave it up to the local authorities, they might ban certain sports, for silly reasons such as "it is against our religion". |

| Message | A central authority imposing its will on the regions is what drove the Separatists to want to leave the Empire in the first place. We are all going to have to compromise if we are going to live together in peace! |

| Message | Sport is business, and the government has no place interfering in business: so removing central government from sport is a step in the right direction. |

| Message | No; the reason why there was seperation was because the central government couldn't recognize that we are a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state. It wasn't because we were giving the poor baseball teams; it was because we said they couldn't have their religion. There is a difference. |

| Message | The reason Geharon separated was because the central government did two things: 1. Take over our religion. 2. Nuke/bomb us. |

| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
