| Message | Mr. Speaker, We believe that, with the threat we faced from Malivian parrotmeat over, we can safely return these legislative powers to the duchies. Tommy Brewer Prime Minister |
| Date | 16:19:28, June 02, 2021 CET | From | Empire Forwards! (EF!) | To | Debating the Duchies Act 4946 |
| Message | Mr speaker, This legislation is nothing more than an attempt to divide and conquer. The Right Honourable member would have it that we were a fractured, disjoint nation. This is not about returning power to local governments, it's about destabilising the country so that he can sweep in as the saviour when it erupts into chaos. Luke Devereux MD (Member of the Diet) Leader of EF! in the Diet |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
