| Message | Respectfully, I will be perfectly honest with you on this matter. The Populist Party does not wish to allow just anyone from anywhere to become a citizen. While we do not prefer to use such terms as "mongrels" and "filth" to describe such people, we too, are aware that there are certain groups of people who do not respect our country and who would likely be a bigger detriment than an asset to our society. However, there are many people from other nations who admire our fine nation and respect our citizens. These folks look at Zardugal and see paradise and they want nothing more than to come here and live the Zardagulian dream. It is my firm believe that these people, if able to pass a rather difficult citizenship test, should have every right to become citizens of Zardugal and to experience freedom, liberty, and happiness. Steven Lennox, Chairman, Populist Party |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
