| Message | I have better things to do than rejecting your false accusations all the time. The bill clearly says the foreign office can approve, so it does depend on who's in charge; we won't accept any terrorist nations on our soil. An invasive security check is needed in order to keep security a priority. Trade with foreign nations can hardly be isolationist. We don't have a moral responsibility of taking in all kinds of refugees, but the law opens for extreme circumstances and we believe that's sound policy to be able to integrate everyone and have a proper society together. Matt Fitzgerald Chairman PPJ. |

| 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. |
