| Message | We vehemently disagree with this; the world has been relatively peaceful for centuries now precisely because of these weapons. If a major war began, both sides would know that eventually these weapons would be used and that, in all likelihood, the world and all life would be destroyed. The fact that a major war would lead inevitably to the world's end is what has prevented a major war. If every nation gets rid of these weapons, then wars will occur more as their consequences will be less serious; if only we get rid of them, then we will be at a serious disadvantage in regard to defense. |

| 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. |
