| Message | The free market is the best determinant of any good's worth, including food. Why ruin it by subsidising our producers, unfairly unbalancing the market in our favour and against the favour of poorer nations, making them poorer still? Not to mention encouraging poor productivity and poor quality of product. If the agricultural industry falls into strife, it can apply for nationalisation under the terms of the Vital Industries Bill (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=36572). No one seems to know why the farm size regulation passed. It would appear that since no one know about agriculture, that the decision is best left up to the farmer himself (or herself). |

| 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. |
