| Message | I couldn't see the Duntrekkers renaming areas after native populations. Vrystaat is defo acceptable to keep, as would Kaap, they are non-specific really. Natal might be good to change, Robben Eiland definitly, and Transvaal could be altered to some other river? However as with the cities, whilst the Duntrekkers hold power I would feel that they'd be unlikely to alter names. Reformist parties will emerge in the future, heck maybe even the SNP are already a reformist party. |

| Message | 1. Unfortunately, Vrystaat is not acceptable to the game as it is the name of a real place (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vrystaat) 2. Kaap is good 3. Natal is/was the name of a real place (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natal,_South_Africa) 4. Robben Eiland is the name of a real place (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robben_Island) As for Duntrekkers "re-naming" the provinces after native peoples, that is similar to what Afrikaners did in South Africa; however, since the current names are technically illegal, it does not seem that we would be "re-naming" them but merely calling them a legal name. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
