| Message | Having a nationalized ISP fall into the wrong hands would spell disaster for our sacred Gaduri democracy. We must keep the internet outside the hands of the government - at all costs! Dr. Boyle, Minister of Science and Technology. |

| Message | OOC; If it's possible, I would like to add some more details to this bill. The in-game options are a bit limited and I didn't not notice the government interference part. IC: I would like to clarify some things up. The national internet service provider will be owned and operated by the government, but just like the central bank where we appoint a head of the ISP and the executive board, whom will not be political, and we wouldn't interfere in its operations, expect some loose things to focus on, such as internet access in rural communities. The ISP would be free to operate freely, but the funding for it would come from the government, and it could possibly be free for everyone. This would mean that more people have access to the internet and information. I hope the so-called "tyranny" of the LUP is cleared up, because with this bill we hope to provide more people with the internet. Antonio Rodriguez, MP for Pernessia |

| 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. |
