| Message | It would create great differences between the regions, a "postcode lottery" of where you get the best defences, and stuff |

| Message | Not really. Each region will need better or worse defences depending on the layout and compatability of said region. Each region will be given the most effective defences for the region - whereas the government will produce identical shelters, which may not work as well in some regions. Also see my point on your bill. So if anything, it'll be MORE of a postcode lottery with your proposed idea. |

| 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. |
