Description[?]:
| An opinion poll was held among the citizens of the Republic of Endralon. The subject of the opinion poll was The time at which sexually explicit content may be shown on broadcast television (if allowed). When asked what their opinions were, the following choices were made: Percentage Choice 37.37% Sexually explicit content may be shown all day long. 33.36% Sexually explicit content or nudity may only be shown during hours that very few children watch television 29.27% Sexually explicit content may only be shown during hours that very few children watch. Nudity may be shown all day long --------- Perhaps this poll shows that Endralon Citizen has already matured and can accept Sexually Explicit contents on TV as Sexual Education for children Concerning the Article 2, it's very frequent magazines like 'Supernatural Worlds', 'Conspiracy Weekly' or 'Celebrity Spotlight' being brought to the court for publishing 'False Contents', but we all know their role in the media is not providing true information but providing entertainment to the segmented masses(read: nerds, emo, and edward cullen fangirl). |

| Message | Well that's freedom of speech, and we can counter that by prove them that they're wrong, if the Media still publish the story, it's their business and we're sure if the readers know they lies, they won't buy the paper no more. This way, Media that lies too much won't sell, that's just how Free Market operates, best quality products won |

| 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. |
