| Message | "The Grand Duchy of Keymon is built on many pillars. The first is our neutrality, as defined by treaty. The second is our open business environment, as defined by low taxes and capitalist economics. The third is the Church of Keymon, loved by our people but not forced on them. The fourth is our liberty, protected through property rights. And the fifth is our civic pride, as embodied by the national service program. We cannot support this bill." -- Lord Antonio Keymon |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
| Random quote: "When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'" - Martin Luther King Jr. |
