| Nations are political entities that players can work together to form. Nations allow groups of players to claim land as their own, as well as to role play and fight wars that would otherwise be considered griefing. Though players are given a lot of latitude to play how they like, **there are certain guidelines players must follow if they wish to be given and to retain the special privliges afforded to nations.** | Nations are political entities that players can work together to form.

| This page lists those guidelines, as well as how they are created and how to appeal them. While on past servers the political rules were strict and inflexible, in Alpha's Realm they are somewhat more flexible. The below guidelines are subject to interpretation and change by a group (the Politbüro) of players (political officers). The Politbüro can also create exceptions, though they do so sparingly. This system, though centralizing power, allows for rapid and fair responses to new situations and will provide for a better political experience on the server. | This page lists those guidelines, as well as how they are created and how to appeal them.

| - | =====Rules of Engagement===== | + | ===== City States ===== |
| - | The Rules of Engagement describe how war is handled between nations. | + | In response to lower player counts, the political officers have created City States as an intermediary between Settlement and Nation. City States are inherently political, like nations, but they only require three players to found, and they are bound to settlement rules for claiming clay. Concretely, this means: |

| + | * - constructed, or is constructing, buildings, farms, or other surface structures. | ||
| + | * - excavated large areas for purposes other than mere mining of resources. | ||
| + | * - substantially transformed the naturally generated terrain in some way. | ||
| + | * A City State is further entitled to legitimately claim land for future projects; however this claim expires if no visible progress is made in due time by the judgement of the administration of the server. | ||
| + | * A City State may claim land outside of these restrictions, but such claims are invalid if held against apolitical settlements. | ||
