| Message | A Federalist socialist, who advocates a police state, with nuclear, chemical weapons, and is against humane treatment of prisoners. I'm confused by all these proposals now... No and No. |

| Message | I believe in state control, of a strong state authority and strong military. I am not against humane treatment of prisoners, i am against prisoners of war getting treated any different from our own prisoners. Would not make it a police state, it would give local authority in times of trouble a way to regain control It would be an emergency measure. |

| Message | I see what you mean by saying that i am federalist but some things would be just as easily done by individual areas and the government to concentrate on making sure everything ran smoothly.. Things such as the park act i thought was a good idea. The curfew proposal is not that radical, it would be worse to have state wide curfews and i will admit this is intrusive but a local government having the right to close it's streets at night would not pose any dangers. |

| Message | No...on both counts. If cursew laws are to be introduced they should be national (not saying I would support them, but there you go) as differing laws in differing areas just leads to confusion and problems. In relation to arming the police with firearms, we see no point to this. They already carry weapons whose primary purpose is to disable and should they require assistants they call in firearms units. There is no requirement for this and merely guarantees that the criminal fraternity arms itself with ever more deadly weapons. No and no. |

| Message | A big no to both proposals. |

| 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. |
