| Message | Once more, the Liberal party tries to pass a law to weaken our nation's military. We shouldn't weaken our chance of victory in Malivia by one inch, as that is what makes the difference in combat. The Liberal Party is trying to cripple this country from the inside, weakening our government and military, and, I, for one, will not stand for it. Kumaran Satish of the Greater Mailvia Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker The gentleman from the Greater Malivia Party speaks of his concern about crippling our country, and yet apparently favours sowing the country with landmines to cripple our children! We have millions of fighting men, an air force and a navy at our disposal: we do not need the capacity to resort to the underhand tactic of turning the country into a giant booby trap! Adam Kumar Liberal Party Defence spokesman. |
| Date | 21:49:24, December 07, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Workers Commune | To | Debating the Abolition of Landmines Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I think we should vow for a compromise. I do not want to see landmines planted all around our nation. This shouldn't be reality for our citizens and especially our Children. However I do think we need to be able to use landmines. That is we leave this decision up to the Army, if they feel it is necessary, in order to defend our nation then we should use them. It's not black and white. It is situational. Kayode Abiodun Malivian Workers Commune Defence Secretary |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
