| Message | Seems like the LGB is inspired by Mao Tse-Tung and Comrade Stalin in terms of agricultural policies. We will not accept a proposal that aims to expropriate large farmers, who are mainly responsible for the food supply of our nation. Wa are also against market-distorting welfare programs that will punish success and promote those who cannot survive on a commercial basis. Sorry, but the establishment of kolkhozes and sovkhozes will not receive LDP-consent (laughter in the conservative benches). Hans Holzbauer LDP Spokesman for Food and Agriculture |

| 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. |
