| Date | 13:36:06, February 22, 2006 CET | From | Inrala Panjoregu Kiokutou (DPP) | To | Debating the Military Dissolution Act |
| Message | We doubt that Indralan citizens will be able to protect themselves from nuclear weapons with handguns. The passing of this bill would only act as an advertisement for invasion. And with plenty of aggressive nations nearby, that is a real possibility. |

| Message | If we ever approve something like this, the Communist Party will "invite" Gaduridos to take over within a week... |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
