Message | Mr. Speaker, Of course the members of "Libertarian Solidarity" would be opposed to this bill. Their party is likely funded by the same terrorists and criminals whose operations will be weakened if these measures are put in place to strengthen the government. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |

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. |
