Indulgences for Common Misdeeds

As most of you now know, I have been working on our relations with the US state of Idaho. Among the items that have been discussed in order to improve our standing with the Idahoan people, especially the two new rural counties of the GPD, is the introduction of a new provision for parents to be able to name their children as they please. The fruits of our negotiations will be called 'Indulgences'. Our reasons for this name should be made clear from this article.

These 'indulgences' will allow citizens to be absolved of the punishments associated with minor misdeeds as defined by the GPD. For example, although it would be ideal for all citizens to follow proper naming practices, we understand that for some this is too much to ask. Therefore, we will allow such persons to attain permission (by payment) to name their children improperly. We may even be benevolent enough to allow those who have already named their children improperly the chance to repent (for an added fee) and return to good standing. We do not wish to encourage the idea that citizens do not need to follow the directions of the GPD. We believe that those who are truly dedicated will not use such indulgences. We believe that as we reach toward our ideal these indulgences will not be necessary.
