| Date | 19:35:12, November 04, 2006 CET | From | Aldegar Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Equal Representation of Regions Act |
| Message | Then regions would have either more or less representation than they would be entitled to. A good example of this system in action is the United States Senate, in which the average Californian has around 1/72 of the Senate voting power of the average Wyomingite.
