| Message | People can take bribes no matter what their salary is - what this bill does do is disincentivize the creation of the career politician, who would in fact be more suspectable to bribery and corruption. We urge all parties to vote in favor; politics should not be a career, but a service - just as the name public SERVICE describes. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
