Arguably, a full dictatorship by one person over a nomic is one way for it to die, unless it's relinquished quickly; unless the nomic was designed as an imperial nomic in the first place, dictatorships that hang around and are actually used can quickly kill a nomic as the other players leave. (As opposed to several of my apparent dictatorships over B, which I maintained for a few weeks simply to be able to use dictator power in order to pull it out of yet another self-destruction (although all that turned out never to have happened); and the dictatorships over Agora that people have managed on occasion, which tend to only last the course of one message, or at most until the CFJs are sorted out, then given back.) -- ais523
