| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is unnecessary decentralization that will create divisiveness between the provinces. Furthermore the archaic idea of duelling should just stay illegal, and this ban should not differ across this nation. Does the CDUL want to make the central government feckless? The PSP is against. Helen Jameson, PSP Spokesperson on Justice |

| 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. |
