>From the deep archives (2007; second one may be related to the last time we tried to invade BlogNomic): Rule 2148/1 (Power=2) Ambassador The ambassador is an office, responsible for relations with foreign nomics. A foreign nomic may grant certain powers and privileges to Agora's ambassador. If so, the ambassador shall generally exercise such powers in such manner as e sees fit, subject to other rules and orders. All players are prohibited from falsely claiming, to any nomic, to be the ambassador. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rule 2147/1 (Power=2) Protectorates 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 its benevolent protector. It must also have rules or other gamestate arranged such that any protective decree proclaimed by the ambassador will take full effect upon proclamation. For this purpose, the nomic may specify the forum in which proclamation is to be made, provided that it is reasonably possible for the ambassador to use the specified forum. Any restriction whatsoever on the content of a protective decree disqualifies the nomic from being a protectorate. If the criteria specified in the preceding paragraph are met, the ambassador may make the nomic a protectorate with Agoran Consent. If a protectorate ever does not meet these criteria, it ceases to be a protectorate. The ambassador shall check every month whether each protectorate continues to meet the criteria, and shall announce whenever a protectorate has ceased to be a protectorate. The ambassador's report shall include a list of all protectorates, with contact details for each, and for each the forum in which it is most appropriate to proclaim protective decrees that target that protectorate.
