| Message | We feel the same way regarding recognised and unrecognised. However, we feel a balance must be reached - religion should be treated as companies or charities. If religions are not to be taxed, they should be banned from advertising themselves or the other way around. |

| 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. |
