| Message | We do not support compulsory manual labor in service to the government; the citizens of Kafuristan are not slaves of the state. Nay. |

| Date | 02:41:12, February 13, 2006 CET | From | Order | To | Debating the Armed Forces Reform |
| Message | Only the statists win in this bill. Vacuum theory. Plus, tacking on the first article pretty much seals our opposition. |

| Message | Opposed due to both articles. The Grand National Party believes that we should only conscript our citizens in times of war. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not approve a Cultural Protocol request within the first 48 hours of it being requested. This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so. Moderation may be approached for advice on a proposed change, but any advice proffered should always be understood under the provisio that no final decision will be made until at least 48 hours after the request has been formally submitted for approval. |
