| Message | We see no grounds for excluding homhsexuals from the military. As it will not affect the cohesivness or effecitvness of our fighting forces, we do not see fit to ban it. The only reason we can conceive to do so is for issues of morality, which we do not support being dictated by the central government. James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

| Message | Our base has long asked us to support their wishes regarding homosexuality. As their representatives we have the duty to abide by their wishes when reasonable. Times are changing, however, and so does our base. We expect to encourage them to embrace a more open mindset regarding homosexuals. As such, it is quite likely this will be the last time we support a bill excluding homosexuals in any way, shape, or form. -Thorden Raxney |

| 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. |
