Message | We oppose, of course. Must be our "totalitarian" nature, that the FIP never ceases to throw around, while subreptitiously encroaching on Solentian citizens civil rights.... Sen. François Hewington - Workers Party |

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. |
