| Message | Local councils are bound to the national law for a start. Besides that it is a local issue because it envolves their environment directly. One might expect that no one wants to live in a dessert. The locals will preserve nature. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
