| Message | [A group of about 200 protesters are gathered outside the Staatsrat building, most of them believed to be members of the Dorvish Communist Party. They are protesting against this bill, and burning the Dorvish flag. Former Communist leader Friedrich Pfeiffer is amongst them.] |

| Message | I would like to remind the government that flags do not represent our nation, the people do. A piece of cloth will not define Dorvik. Why doesn't the government step away from trying to protect fabric and use their time to make better progress tackling the problems which face the people? This coalition within its first movements has proven itself to be absolutely ridiculous. Here's hoping that flag can save us now. Sahrah Lisent Co-leader of Die Linke |

| Message | Perhaps Sahrah would like to consider what the parties in this coalition have done for them is nation? Far more than you. My brother’s contributions alone were monumental. Strauss led us through secessionist movements and the Kordusia crisis. Simply because we have a complete viewpoint on the world doesn’t mean you’re superior. Quite the opposite in fact. Adelar Noske Justice Minister Vice Chancellor of the NP |

| Message | Free speech comes first. The idea that we should imprison people for burning cloth is outrageous and absurd. Samantha Reder Co-Leader of Renewal |
| Date | 19:53:25, November 16, 2017 CET | From | Dorvische Nationale Partei | To | Debating the Patriotism Bill 4302 |
| Message | Imprison? No. But criminalise? Absolutely. We must discourage the spread of violent anti-Dorvik ideologies. That will be the death of our nation if we do not stamp out our enemies now. Adelar Noske Justice Minister Vice Chancellor of the NP |

| Message | OOC: Oh whoops, I guess ignore the "my brother" reference in my first message, replace with Hans Gluck. Totally forgot who was talking, |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
