| Message | Members of the Chamber, This law is designed to stop cults from starting schools. Name me one unrecognized religion you want to be able to set up a school. All real religions are recognized, others are in fact cults. I don't want my children going to a school founded by a cult. Elsanne van Rhee Leader of the DVP |

| 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. |
