| Message | We agree on Article 2, but 1 and 3 are not good for the nation. We believe strong regulations on gambling are esential for the protection of people againts addiction and other harms that may be caused by the practice. We also belive that people in the public eye deserve special protection, because the media and the general public are a strong contendant to cause them harm, and also the risk of stalkers disturbing their private lives is way too high if not given special protection. |

| 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. |
