| Message | Well, we'd think that the FINANCE minister, might have an idea that it would be catastrophic to cut 2 billion BLD from education? Is that not perhaps self-explanatory, particularly for the individual who is supposed to be IN CHARGE of finance? Thank you. Xi Xiang Leader of the Republican Party |

| Message | I was the finance minister. I was asking for everyone to give their idea. I proposed one previously. There were some problem. I removed it. You should have said earlier. If you wanted finance then why was my party brought into this fiasco. I didn't ask for any ministry. Please tell if you want me to get out of the cabinet altogether. I will I have no problem. I am not after power. I am interested only in what I can do to help baltusia. The finance minister post is vacant you can have your slice of the pie. And also I will happily give you my slice also. Regarding education financing I am for minimizing government interference. I would love to see less government spending in education. This will enhance the quality of education baltusia has. |

| Message | Unlike the Republicans, the Foundation Party were clearly putting their best efforts into improving life for Baltusian students. It is absolutely disgraceful for a committed and effective minister to be treated in this way! We now call on the President to propose a cabinet which does not include the Baltusian Republican Party. Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 16:26:30, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Foundation Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 4185 |
| Message | I am sorry. I was just disappointed that budget was not being approved. I am sorry. I am asking all my ministers to resign from the cabinet. I am very sorry. The president should exclude my party. We are at fault over here. We thank the Speaker of the house for her support |
| Date | 16:34:20, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Democratic People's Movement | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 4185 |
| Message | It is our view that the Republicans owe the Foundation Party an apology- not the other way around! Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 16:39:50, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Foundation Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 4185 |
| Message | Thank you for your support speaker. We will remember it. But I am sorry. Let's move on |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
