Description[?]:
| The Conservative Party feels that certain changes must be made in order to open Telamon to the world at large. Globalisation is a fact, not a movement.

| 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. |
