| Message | "The CUP opposes on the basis of individualism being ignored. Whilst faith and morality is important, it cannot be legislated. The Senate cannot, and should not attempt to, control the hearts and minds of the people. Windows should not be made into men's souls and the Government must act solely as an enabling machine that will allow individuals to follow the percieved right path on basis of an independent and autonomous decision. For that, is true faith." James Cardinal Brandt, Sen. - CUP Spokesman for Faith and Spirituality. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
