| Message | We're probably going to abstain on this one. While we agree religious institutions should setup schools if they wish to do so, we do however agree that standards should meet those of state and private schools. All citizens should receive the same level of education regardless of where they are taught. However strict regulation? What does that actually mean? If it means an infringement on religious tolerance we can't approve. |

| 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. |
