| Date | 07:33:55, June 25, 2007 CET | From | Crown Loyalists | To | Debating the Equal Rights Act 2418 |
| Message | Mandatory segregation of government facilities only leads to greater overhead. However, the Crown Loyalists are opposed on principle to radical changes of the Imperial Crownlands' existing laws. We could theoretically support a measure to disallow segregation of government facilities while allowing private organizations free to choose. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
