| Message | "Ms Goldwater speaks truly. Government control over the defence industries is problematic at best in that bureaucracy will propogate itself and keep us militarized forever. We would prefer this to go a step further and ban defence industries from the island altogether, but this is an acceptable step and it has our party's support." -- Lain Keymon |

| Message | "Private armies. Insane concept. As little as we like the idea of war, we should not sell out our military. Especially not to Capitalist scum, with nothing but their own welfare on their minds." Many Notthingham. |

| 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. |
