| Message | "You seem to forget that whilst your people occupy our land the laws passed in the Sanhedrin only apply to the three inner Beiteynuese provinces, Pontesi law is forced upon the people in Tadraki and Endild and they have chosen to pass policing to the neutral forces." -- Tuvya Menachem OOC: I think... although we pass Mehoz bills there so it's all really confusing. |
