| Message | Madame Speaker... this proposal will cripple several manufacturing sectors key to our continued economic health. Why is this being proposed? We are hardly the most advanced state on Terra, we have no great industrial secrets to hold – and those few we do, we protect well under current export law. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
