I am soliciting comments on the following Proto-proposal:
Nomic Protectorates
AI 1
{
Create a new rule titled "Nomic Protectorates" with the text:
"Whereas Agora, being the superpower of nomics, has an inherent
responsibility to lead the nomic world; and whereas Agora desires to
encourage growth and promotion of the nomic community, be it hereby known
that Agora shall serve as benevolent protector to any nomic which requests
such status (hereafter referred to as the Protectorate).
In order to become a Protectorate, a nomic must specify in its ruleset that
it submits to Agora as it's benevolent protector. It also must allow Agora
unrestricted access to make changes to it's ruleset. A player of said nomic
may then cause that nomic to become a Protectorate by announcement to the
public forum. A nomic no longer meets these requirements ceases to be a
Protectorate.
Agora shall treat a Protectorate in a benevolent fashion, making changes to
that nomic's ruleset only for the purpose of assisting that nomic in its
growth and enabling its longevity.
The Herald's report shall include a list of protectorate nomics, as well as
a history of events related to protectorate nomics. The Herald shall, at a
minimum of once each month, ensure that each Protectorate nomic meets the
requirements laid out in this rule.
}
I'm sure this could be worded better....suggestions?
