| Message | To ban the defense industry in its entirety is the height of stupidity; an unforgivable strategic error that would leave us wholly dependent on foreign powers for our armaments. |
| Date | 19:00:27, August 07, 2008 CET | From | Alliance of Discord | To | Debating the Zoot Suit Riot |
| Message | Or it would leave us without armaments, leaving us unable to fight foreign wars for resources and differing ideologies. Here's an idea, no more is war an option when it comes to invented threats by the military-industrial complex. |

| 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. |
