| Message | Article two is mainly to collect more tax, but also to prevent people from starting up religious institutions and thereby avoid taxation. |

| Message | But that also seems like an argument for religious favouritism, which is something that a secular state should be opposed to. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
