The national service, a proud tradition of Indrala, should also be extended as defensive needs change. Li Duxiu Defense Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, What I see from this bill is not the defense of our nation, but warmongering and violence. These radical republicans are bringing us into a warpath, and overall such an idea won’t bring prosperity for us, only pain for all of Terra. Furthermore, we as a country should hold morals. An idea the Republican League doesn’t seem to have, despite attempting to limit our nation’s civil rights in in the name of “morals”. Gen. Zhuan Qigang, ret. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
