| Message | The RPP obviously fails to realize besides the fact that this is high treason and they will all be executed accordingly, they need 2/3 of the Diet to vote for it, and we maybe not have a majority but you fail to have the 66.67% super majority to pass it. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
