| Message | We are saddened by the Progression refusing to acknowledge that this is a highly religious state. There anti-religious bills will be the laughing stock of the country and will result in them being crushed in the polls by the defenders of the faith. |
| Date | 12:10:35, April 27, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Religious Contributions Bill |
| Message | This is a highly religious state because the political elites have made it so. The popularity of these proposals will be reflected in the next election result when Progression receives huge levels of support. |

| Message | Oppose. |
| Date | 18:55:33, April 27, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Religious Contributions Bill |
| Message | Given the immense wealth of established religions, surely if they started paying tax this would mean that taxes on citizens could be reduced - wouldn't that be beneficial to taxpaying individuals? |

| Random fact: It is possible for a player to transfer ownership of a character or a royal house to another player. This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
