| Message | Finally, the old opressive justice system moves towards the modern era. Thank God, the old one was so uncivilised and oppressive. |

| Message | To NGPoL, We believe that the current justice system is oppressive and unfair to the peoples of The 2nd Great Democratic Republic of Lodamun. Therefore, we would be glad to vote for your proposed bill as it guarantees a solid, fair justice system that will benefit all and certainly undo the mistakes made by the Justice Reform Act of 4214. Yours sincerely, Georgren Imwan of the SMP |

| 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. |
