| Message | Members of the Parliament It isn't good to force people to do something. Just think that one day, someone comes to you're house and forces you to go to war and you might die in the war! That is unacceptable! Instead, we must strongly encourage it. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
