| Message | Why? There will still be plenty of room for profits, in practice they will have to provide cheap rates for new business startups, charities, and the very poorest - It shouldnt affect what they charge 90% of the time. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
