| Message | If what you say in your description is true, then we must oppose. If we are to have a public radio/television system, then it must be neutral, it cannot accept influence from a political party in the manner you have shown. |

| Message | I can assure you that all our educational programs are strictly non-political, unless you consider culture as politics. Anyway we will just propose this..everybody has the right to propose his own programs (of course upon approval of our enlightned ministery of education) |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
