| Message | Did you base this on realistic figures? I repeat what said before. We should begin with our finances mirroring a real country in similar condition, preferably from a cultural and political context most of us are at least vaguely familiar with. Examples of such countries might be Germany, Britain, France, Italy or Spain. All of these are influential, but not all-powerful. I personally would suggest Britain because everyone here can read what it says on the Treasury website and it has a national health service, like Kirlawa. Once have those figures are in place, we can make future budgets reflect our own policy decisions. What do you say? |

| Message | The figures are based on current income from corporate, sales and income taxes. Normally every department gets equal amount in this game. I try to give more cash to the fields we would emphasise on. Because of the fact that most corporations will be privately run, there is less money to spend on these policies. |

| 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. |
