| Message | I just need to clear this up. Is child labor childrem (people under 16) working in full time employment? I mean it depends on what type of child labor is which will sway our vote, since I don't think it's too wrong for someone who is say 14, working full time in an office as a photocopying monkey but obvisouly we obect to children working in sweatshops though. |

| Message | If the child is under 8 years old, or does not want to be a laborer, it is forbidden. Industrial jobs would also be forbidden. If they're between 8 and 16, and it's voluntary, and it is not an industrial job, it would be allowed, as long as it does not detract significantly from school. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
