| Let's get rid of that "de facto" on the second line in our anthem once and forever! It doesn't rhyme, and it's so embarrassing when our kids ask us what it means and we can't explain. We want no latin in our anthem!*. *unless it's J-Lo, of course. |

| Message | We suggest you tell the kids that the first line is in fact the title of the song. Your party could further explain that “de facto“ means "in practice". That surely would clear up any confusion for the young ones and avoid the rigmarole of altering the anthem. Welcome, by the way. : ) |

| Message | We agree with HtNM. That 'de facto' has been annoying us ever since the anthem was created. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
