| Message | Well, we can write that into the description of the bill; but we believe that is the only option that splits the TOC between the national government and regional private companies. Given our stances on social market theory, we would say "yes" but if we have to we can certainly write it in. |

| Message | We cannot support devolution, still. We know what your doing but it only means you lose more bills my friends. |

| Message | Winning or losing bills matters only slightly, what is most important are the votes for or against the proposals and where that places the party's ideology afterwards. |

| 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. |
