I think this (and the whole proposal) is a bad idea. As a mechanism for creating more non-natural persons it's a mess. We already have a possible route to protectorates registering: a B Nomic rule could also be a R1742 agreement, making B Nomic a partnership under Agoran law. (This depends on the enforceability of R1742 agreements on non-players, which has not yet been tested.) The other way, if you want a novel class of person, is to recognise each protectorate as a person, regardless of registration, and then let it register in the normal way. You need to define how a protectorate can act, though. -zefram
