| Message | It is really good to see that those who are able to cahnge something act in a way acceptable for the people of Dorvik. We, the SNP, strongly support the change of the proposed articles while we are happy to see a little private sector will continue existing. If the circumstances will become worse, this could save our economy. |

| Message | Herr Speaker, Save our economy? By forcing the state to pay for everything is going to SAVE our economy? Perhaps I should lend you a history book and you can read about socialist and communist economies and how they utterly fail. Ilari Bogomolov, DKP People's Chamber Leader |

| 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. |
