| Message | Mr. Speaker The Royalist Party is alarmed two fold by the NUF's shift to the far extreme right, and the disdain they have begun showing to the democratic process; they don't allow for any debate on their Omnibus Bills before attempting to ram them through the Senate. This is the first Bill we can safely say actually can be debated on. Regardless we are against it. There is no need for these current measures to be instituted in Hutorian society; we are not a Police State. Robert Wright Minister of Justice & Hutorian Attorney General |

| 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. |
