| Message | "Smaller farmers that produce farmers markets and products that have a home grown feel are great for our economy. In some areas, this happens naturally. In others, regulation might be a necessary evil. Obviously, regulation from a national level is evil usually, but from a local level, this makes sense. We will compromise here and vote for this." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS |

They voted against this. 60% against, 40% for. The people have spoken, and we vote nay. I personally liked this bill, but we are a peoples party." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS |

| 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. |
