| Message | With a great number of areas needing regulation and with some forms f regulation not available to choose I will be entering a second bill on the same topic area as well as a bill on the setting up of regulatory bodies to ensure standards are maintained across certain sectors. |

| Message | We're moderately opposed to the forest one (and please notice that what you're proposing there is actually a mild degree of DEregulation), but in favour of the others, so will vote aye. |

| Message | Yes I realised the deregulation with regards forestry only on reading the third time. However it should be stated that i believe if we have a policy on planting of new trees and quotas we can protect our natural environment whilst also improving employment opportunities etc. |

| 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. |
