Message | I kindly ask you to reconsider this highly important matter. Our National Capital is the heart of the nation, and the heart of the state. Why don't we reach a consent based on the population census. The proposed localisation in the Dorvan territory may highly upset more than 10M Dorvikians living in the most populated province of Kordusia. Dorvanians, with their tendency to pauperise the governments's prerogatives may not even like the idea of the political brain in their vicinity. As to the Kordusian realm, its natural beauty stresses the obvious target for the capital's lair. (Oooof, couldn't I write it simpler..?) |

Message | Why should mainland be neglected? It is not an argument. We are just trying to find the perfect, just and reasonable solution. |

Message | Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Highest Senate, We are expressing our highest concern in the matter of consequences your decision can bring for the future of Dorvik. You are voting for localising the future capital of Our Motherland on the remote territory of Dorvan, in the city of Fairfax. I am begging you to reconsider. 1. Dorvan is remote, densely populated island in the vicinity of both Dorvikian, as well as Ultranian coasts. Placing the symbolic heartland of Our Nation in such location would simply be insincire to most of Our citizens. Not to mention it's strategical circumstances. 2. Every region of Our wonderful state is different, and so is Dorvan. But please, bear in mind that Dorvanians have almost opposite views of many key issues of our national policies than other citizens. Your decision can simply bear some inconvenient consequences, as expressed by our electorates. 3. Capital city of each and every independent state is a symbol of this nation. Symbol of her virtues, national identity, her roots. Why didn't we concentrate on green hills, spacious valleys and versatile cliffs and beaches of Kordusia? Those inevitable ingredients of the historic Dorvikian landscape cannot be found on Dorvan. And it's got nothing to do with neglecting the islands while favourising mainland. 1. Dorvan is overpopulated, there's no place for placing central administrative buildings. 2. Dorvan is much different from the rest of the country. 3. Dorvan's geographical localisation makes it an inappropriate place for a capital, according to strategic situation. 4. Kordusia is the historical heartland of Dorvik. 5. It's demographical, logistic, ecological and geographical situation and capacity makes it more adequate for a role of the capital's localisation. 6. Future capital should be placed in a safe settlement in case of danger. We beg You - think about Your decision once again. One of the most important steps in Our history is in your hands! |
