| Message | We stand by Article One on the sole fact that it does not force or require every child to sing the national anthem, but it must at least show respect to the national anthem. And concerning Article Two, Union Socialism Alliance does not think that these criminals deserve wages for their work, on the contrary, they owe society and they should pay it back by doing community services and the likes. If these two proposals were to be a deal-breaker, then certainly we would remove Article One and, if necessary, Article Two as well.

| Message | We were happy with the Socialist Freedom Act and will not vote to repeal it. The only part of this we would vote for is artcle 3. And even there, as media in this country is nationalised we hope that the media can be trusted to exercise self-censorship where necessary. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
