| Message | I am a little concerned that Keymon would potentially allow our enemies to use Keymon ports as a safe harbor during wartime. |
| Date | 09:40:43, February 28, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Ratification of the Keymon Neutrality Agreement |
| Message | The first time we conduct a naval battle in one of their ports I'm sure they'll change that policy on warring nations both using them. |

| Message | Esteemed Colleagues, On behalf of the Grand Duchy of Keymon, I greet you and thank you for discussing ratification of this treaty. The treaty is perhaps unclear on the point of our role in times of war. Certainly, permitting warships into our port makes us a belligerent party. We draw a distinction between ships - merchant vessels, private yachts, and the like - and warships. Our neutrality is something we take very seriously and we will not compromise it in such a way. Hopefully, this clarifies this issue to your satisfication. Sincerely, Dr. Algernon Phargle Foreign Secretary for the Grand Duchy of Keymon |

| Message | Esteemed Colleagues, My apologies for sending multiple messages, but in reading my last missive I see that it can be misinterpreted. To be utterly clearly, belligerent warships will not be permitted into Keymon's harbor. Our open port policy only extends to non-military merchant shipping and military vessels in times of peace. Once again, my thanks for your consideration. Yours, Dr. Algernon Phargle Foreign Secretary for the Grand Duchy of Keymon |

| Message | I'm sure that clears up the SPP's concerns, thank you for your contribution. |

| Message | Indeed it does, thank you. |
| Date | 00:49:40, March 01, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Keymon Neutrality Agreement |
| Message | The good thing about this bill is it gives our merchant fleet a safe harbour during the war. During WWI and WWII, the merchant fleets on both sides were targets for the enemy, and I'm sure the same would apply in game. The Keymon ports would actually be safer than our own ports. |
