Laws

Habitation:

1. For each citizen, the standard unit of area to be owned is one (1) Lazor^a.

2. Citizens automatically have planning permission from bedrock to skytop, allowing them to construct anywhere in their 1 Lazor area.

3. Due to the existence of long-term civic planning, any building projects of appreciable size outside of one's designated area require the approval of a City Leader^b. Requests should be made in the form of a Reddit post at /r/Brynley. Note: even if permission is granted in person, a post should be made to facilitate appropriate record-keeping.

   • If approval has not been granted, and the building project is found to be in conflict with civic planning, any blocks unlawfully placed may be destroyed by the State^c.

4. Mining rights are entirely collective. Any citizen of Brynley may mine anywhere from the bedrock up within Brynley's boundaries; mining disputes outside these areas must be resolved between the parties involved themselves.

5. In the event of conflict between building and mining rights, or mining disputes between individual citizen, the following points must be considered:

   • If applicable, building rights override mining rights; mining through a citizen's basement is a violation.
   • Disputes should be resolved amicably directly between the parties involved. If this is unsuccessful, the situation should be presented to a City Leader.
   • A City Leader will attempt to resolve the matter amicably, possibly mandating the making of material reparations.

^a: A 'Lazor' is an area of 19mx19m, normally (in the case of allocated plots) marked by a 10x10 square of spaced fence posts.

^b: The term 'City Leader' encompasses the terms 'Supreme Ruler', 'Second-In-Command' and 'Baron of Security'.

^c: An example of construction found to be in harmony with civic planning was the Brynley Public Dock.

Criminal Law:

1. A common law-type situation prevails.
   • I.e. no murdering, no stealing, no destruction of property, no placing of unwanted blocks on others property ('blocking'), no trespassing.

• Punishments are decided upon by City Leaders on a case-by-case basis. In approximate order of severity, punishments include but are not limited to:
  1. Unperson: An individual is Pearled, has their community property rights revoked, their possessions are appropriated by the State, their buildings destroyed and their Pearl secured until the end of time.
  2. Banishment By Death: An individual's bed is destroyed (if possible), they have their community property rights revoked and they are executed, to respawn randomly in the world. Their possessions and buildings are appropriated by the State. They are to be killed on sight if they again enter Brynley territory.
  3. Banishment By Nether: An individual is ensured to have at least half a stack of food, and then they are to enter the nearest Nether portal and encouraged to re-emerge far away. They are to be killed on sight if they again enter Brynley territory.
  4. The End: An individual is Pearled for a determined duration, their possessions are appropriated by the State and their buildings considered 'off-limits' until the end of their End-sentence.
  5. Probation: An individual has their community property rights revoked for a set duration. Any further violations during this time entail more serious punishment.

A City Leader acts as Magister in such cases. The above, and other punishments may be combined, amplified or diminished as the Magister sees fit.

Miscellaneous

1. It is unlawful to use the item 'coal' for anything other than pearl maintenance.

Location-specific Rules:

1. The Blackpowder Orchard is not for the harvesting of wood.
2. Wheat and seeds from the Farm should go into the adjacent Granary, unless being used to make bread and sow crops.
