| Message | The only thing that can harm Rutanian freedoms is that a murderer, a child abuser, or a terrorist goes free because the Ministry of Justice can't violate the confidentiality of letters in extreme circumstances. The only thing that can harm Rutanian freedoms is that a terrorist action cannot be prevented because the Ministry of Justice can't violate the confidentiality of letters in extreme circumstances. The only thing that can harm Rutanian freedoms is that terrorists and wanted fugitives of foreign nations can freely enter Rutanian because no one will check their identity upon arrival. The only thing that can harm Rutanian freedoms is that a terrorist action cannot be prevented because terrorists and wanted persons can't be stopped at the border. The only thing that can harm Rutanian freedoms is that terrorists can use Rutania as a country of passage and can freely recruit Rutanian citizens because we have no kind of identity or security check whatsoever before issueing passports. |

| 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. |
