| Message | Do we really want to scoop the accolade of being the first nation in Terra to implement this dubious piece of legislation? There is no basis for it in scripture, and we see no basis for it in law. Belinda Braithwaite (Leader of the LCWA) |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
