| Message | We think this subsidy is unneccessary and could prove very costly. We think government funds could be better spent elsewhere. |

| Message | The PCP will agree with the Representative Party. Phone bills do not (usually) create a massive cost for those who want them (unless they constantly talk with people out of country). The funds that would go into this would be far, far better spent in improving infrastructure so that more people could have phone service access in the first place. |

| Message | The RLP sees no reason for the government to intervene in this area. Where it is not necessary to act, it is necessary not to act. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
