| Message | OOC: You know that historically, it's rather 'Unpontesian' to dislike Jelbic, right? =D IC: Senators, Jelbic has been the main language of the Pontesian nation since it's inception. While many other languages have served the purpose as an auxiliary language, such as Luthoran, Selucian etc. none can match the historical continuity that Pntek Jelbic has preserved.

| Message | OOC: If you're referring to me, I'm afraid not... but my Pontesian head of state is. 😋 IC: "Senators, I find the Nationalist party's enthusiasm for gender-fluidness rather refreshing. While Pontesia is bound to become a beacon for gay rights in this continent - something I'm sure the Nationalist party leaders will appreciate more than anybody else - we must not forget other groups in the beautiful rainbow of tolerance such as transexuals and intergender persons. Perhaps the Nationalist Pary could have the honour of organising the next LGBT Pride Parade in Dawnstar? I'm sure - as proper hard right nationalists - their contributions to the Pontesian Leathermen crowd would be nothing short of terrific!

| Date | 09:59:45, October 12, 2017 CET | From | Auguri de Curia Inserenus | To | Debating the Manifesto Pledge |
| Message | "Senators, May I ask for the name of the Nationalist Party's chairman? I need to know who to nominate for king of the Dawnstar Gay Rainbow Parade this year." Heijinoju Hldjezestisrmko Wrntuhiko Senator from Caespasia |
