| Message | Even if we count on the high education standards of our republik, we must accept that some of our citizens aren't that intelligent to speperate bad food from good food. Furthermore, people have to know the disadvantages of a product to ignore it next time. This means anybody must be harmed before others know not to buy a certain product. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. 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. |
