OOC: This is a constitutional RP Law, as governed by Section 6 article 5 of the Game Rules (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8088). The only part of this RP law that is, strictly speaking, enforceable by Moderation is the restrictions placed on undemocratic and racist parties. In practice, this means that parties that you may not openly play a party: - Which seeks to abolish the democratic order or the state itself; - Which has a structure that is not internally democratic; - Which seeks to impose discriminatory laws on the basis of race; - Mind that this also applies when you very openly RP party members wishing to do this. We will request moderation to enforce the RP law only after notifying any parties that they are in violation. The name of the Head of State, Head of Government, and the legislative, as well as any symbols, are covered by game mechanics as constitutional variables. Changing these variables in game will be considered, for RP purposes, amendments to the present RP law. |
