| Message | OOC: Please do not enter into national debates unless you are acting as a representative from the government of a foreign nation or posting OOCly. We also want nothing to do with you as you and Breexiter are eerily similar. Thank you. |

| Message | OOC: Removing hereditary nobility is not getting rid of nobility fully, it is merely a minor change, and you ignoring this law as it passes just because you say so is ineffective. |

| Message | OOC: it won't be hereditary de-jure but like Hutori's nobility before it was dismantled (yes I remember you lol) the Privy Council, the agency entirely responsible for Dorvik's nobility; could in theory simply award it to whatever chosen successor the last one chose making it de-facto hereditary. |

| 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. |
