| Message | We support this bill, but do not see why it must be swiftly crushed. Racism is often a matter of ignorance, and can be prevented through education and acceptance. |
| Date | 02:13:02, May 13, 2008 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Interracial Marriage Equality Act |
| Message | The Technocratic Nationalist Party regards racism as a grave threat to the safety and stability of the nation. Not only is racism inherently immoral, it turns people against each other and leads to conflict. We must do everything in our power to eliminate such a destructive and divisive force. However, we are quite glad that the PSR will support this bill. |

| 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. |
