| Message | Mr. Speaker, This would just destroy our military and more worryingly it would turn us from a parliamentary democracy into a country governed by militias. Talk about trying to whip up violence in the country. Raynard Polley MP |

| 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. |
