| Message | Mr Speaker, It disappoints me that our friends in the National Party would propose such a bill. The Hutorian Armed Forces and our Intelligence Agency are crucial to keeping our nation safe. We must vote no on this bill and encourage our other coalition partners to do the same. Rt. Hon. Steve Taylor MP for Glentingham East Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Hutori |

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. |
