| Message | article 4 is useless - u are proposing nothing new. And I disagree with 5, and 3 - people can have private cars already, being encouraged to save fuel is a good thing - it's not like the gov. restricts them. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
