| Message | This depends. Discrete religious symbols shouldn't pose a problem. Overt, ostentatious symbolism and dress would be too much (as would overt political identification) for a public official who is expected to remain neutral. We vote, "yes but". |

| 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. |
