| Message | It's something of an improvement, we suppose. Calling it a 'right to privacy' is a bit strong though, I think it would be more honest to call it an "illusion of privacy subject to the whim of the 'justice'". |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
