| Message | We fully support and commend the CTC for this creation. Although we are not confident it would receive adequate funding with the current finance administration. |

| Message | The RHP strongly oppose this legislation. The inevitable result of a state-funded media is that the state's biases and ideological agendas seep through into hiring policies and content. Furthermore, there is no need for a tax-payer funded media when the people of Rutania already have access to a variety of independent media sources, which they are not forced to sponsor. The private sector is more than capable at delivering media. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
