| Message | OOC: I don't know why you'd use Latin for the motto when we're the only country in the game representing the Spanish language and culture. 1 is supportable, but a little bland. |

| Message | OOC: Even Spain has a Latin national motto (Plus Ultra). To be honest, I think Latin looks better for a national motto, and many countries use Latin in their national mottos. I guess that many countries want to have that connection with their real or perceived Roman past. |
| Date | 01:55:25, June 12, 2018 CET | From | Sobrevenir | To | Debating the Republican Names Act |
| Message | Sobrevenir will support this bill. We have been contemplating the benefits of monarchy. |
| Date | 17:14:21, June 12, 2018 CET | From | Partido Comunista de Egelion | To | Debating the Republican Names Act |
| Message | OOC: And? We don't have to be a complete copy of Spain. I won't be supporting a Latin motto - Selucia is there for that - we should have a Spanish motto. |

| 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). |
