| Message | Dr. Deydono, the president of CFP, is a christian himself, as well as many of the party leaders, but we support Hellenic Polytheism due to the traditional role played by this religion in Sekowan history. |

| Message | The DSP does not have to abstain if it does not want to. In this case we do not see it as positive, we believe in a secular government and freedom of religion, not a state religion and enforcement of its beliefs. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
