| Message | Anatita Liletrinni, member of the Central Comitee and head secretary of the Democratic Movement of Women (DMW), said about this act: "Though we would accept some of the articles, we will never be in favor of the exploitation of man by man. Also, we will never accept that a woman has the legal right to exploit her body in change for money. The sexual relation should be free and consented, and never a way of psychological torture." |
| Date | 11:38:37, June 22, 2008 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the New Economy Act |
| Message | Although we also believe that illegalizing prostitution is not the answer to the problem and only make it worse, we do not believe that state monopolism will benefit their situation. |

| 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 |
