| Message | We would prefer everyone to be able to purchase guns freely, but putting a block in front of the mentally ill and violent criminals seems reasonable. The problem arises when the government starts branding, say, political protesters as violent criminals or insane. We don't care whether or not the government issues identity cards, as long as they're voluntary. But refraining from doing so saves money, which is good. We would prefer the confidentiality of letters to be completely inviolable, but 'extreme situations' is still slightly better than 'grounded cause'. So, on balance, we support. |

| 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. |
