| Message | Event hough i might no again be seen as bad girl, who is against everything, i will block this. Cobura twice had this system and both times it ended up destroying the whole game and the fun. And besides that i don't like to have both important offices in one hand. And third also don't like the idea that only Coburan-born ones may become President. And finally last i don't like the title "president" |

| 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 |

Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
