| Message | So all regions would have equal representation, but individual people would have unequal representation? Why is it better to give equal representation to nebulous and artificial regions than to give equal representation to human beings? |

| Message | It would give the minorities a voice that would otherwise be overshadowed while still giving an adequate amount of influence to the larger regions. |

| Message | Which minorities? Today, every voter in Trigunia gets equal representation. Under your proposal individual voters in Trigunia will receive unequal representation. Accordingly at the moment all people have the same 'voice', but you are proposing to give minorities an artificially loud voice, at the expense of other people. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
