| Message | We stand by these reforms because we believe that even though the State is secular and must remain as such, we can't directly intervene in people's personal beliefs, including Representatives, policemen, firemen, etc. We need to recognize that we are a diverse country and that respecting everyone's beliefs is necessary for a successful nation.

| 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. |
