Message | Regarding articles III and IV: Current wording of Article IV only permits a single, state funded television network. New proposal would keep current network, but would relegate it to a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation; as well as allowing private television stations to be owned and operated with a proper broadcasting license. |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
