| Message | All of our areas are roughly on the same level economically, so I have confidence that the regions will provide similar levels of fire coverage. Also, the local governments will have to provide good fire services, or be voted out of office. As for the equipment, right now the infrastructure around the country is the same, and the equipment the new fire departments will be using must be compatible with the existing infrastructure, so fire protection will be at as high a level as before. The only thing this bill will do is to reduce bureaucratic waste. |

| 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. |
