| Message | Reduces the governments burden in manpower and reduces our budget by cutting any wreckless spending on our nations police force agaencies. |

| Message | This would be foolish. Leaving police funding and operation to local government would reduce the ability of the police to coordinate nationwide operations as well as leaving open the possibility that some police forces could be left open to poor funding. Moreover, inter-regional cooperation could be severly hampered due to the lack of co-dependency being the competing forces. We could very well be left in a situation where local police forces would be unable to chase criminals from one constituency to another through fear of interfering with anothers operations. "federal police" - We are not a federal republic and as such do not have a federal police force. |

| 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. |
| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
