Exceptions to this rule are as follows:

1A) Trade and Tourism:

No nation may buy or sell any more than $500 million worth of goods or services to or from any one NPC in any one RP year (54 RL days). Military sales and/or interactions are allowed WITH the consent of the Founder or the RP Coordinator(s).

1B) Peacekeeping missions

1C) Exceptions approved by the Founder to facilitate RP (Case by case basis).

TG the Founder for details.

2) You cannot RP in, for or about another nation without their consent. BEFORE doing anything concerning or involving another nation, TG them and get their consent. This is the second Commandment.

Exceptions are, but are not limited to:

Asking questions about another nation.
Submitting requests for embassies, trade, or other interactions with other nations.
Propaganda.

TG the Founder for details.

3) No one nation will be allowed to claim an entire continent, except Australia. This applies only to your original claim.

4) No nation can be compelled to participate in any RP event without its own consent. HOWEVER, once an RP event is commented on by a nation, IN CHARACTER (IC), said nation IS involved, and must abide by the situation and its rules. SO THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!!!!!

5) If you wish to engage in a military conflict (war) with another nation (or nations), first contact them and set it up by TG. Then send an outline of the proposal to the Founder AND the RP Coordinator for approval. That way there will be no surprises. This also applies to any annexation or takeover of land.

6) Once you have been accepted as a member, any changes to your nation's history MUST be approved by the Founder.

7) The Regional Nuclear Weapons Policy and WMD Policy will be strictly adhered to at all times. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!

8) The decisions of the RP Coordinator(s) are FINAL and can only be overruled by the Founder.

9) No RL politics on the RMB. No use of RL politicians (Trump, Obama, Cameron, Merkel, Putin etc.) If you want to discuss RL politics, take it to TG.

10) No obscene language, flame baiting, spamming on the RMB. BUT use common sense before complaining. Frequent complaining, whining, etc. will not be looked upon with a kindly eye.

11) No graphic descriptions of torture, maiming, slaughter, death, sex etc. are allowed on the RMB. If this happens, you will be given ONE (1) warning, then YOU WILL BE BANJECTED. If bad enough, you will be reported to the NS Game Moderators.

12) Any nation that leaves AEH of its own volition, and posts on the RMB of another region, and then returns to AEH, will be required to reapply for membership. This also applies to nations that CTE. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!

13) Only one nation and one puppet per player is allowed, unless approved by the Founder. WA membership IS NOT required, but if you wish to be in the WA and this region, that is fine.

13A) If you wish to have a puppet, fill out the Puppet Application found in the Regional Factbook, post it to the puppet's Factbook, and notify the Founder. DO NOT post with your puppet until approved.

14) The Regional Exchange rate is 1=1, and NO VIRTUAL MONEY (i.e. Bitcoins etc.) are allowed to be used.

15) ALL TECHNOLOGY will be based on RL technology.

15A) If a piece of technology or equipment was not or has not yet been adopted for SERVICE by any RL nation, it is likewise not available for use here. No exceptions (i.e. nothing based on "Ace Combat 3" or "World of Tanks" or "World of Warships" etc.) will be allowed, unless approved by the Founder.

15B) If you want to develop a piece of technology or equipment based on something that was not adopted by a RL nation, you can. BUT it must be done FROM SCRATCH. See the "Rules for Building Things" entry in the WFE.

16) When a nation leaves AEH, for WHATEVER reason, its former land claim AUTOMATICALLY becomes an NPC. It cannot be "given" to another nation, and all previous interactions by other nations (treaties, wars, trade etc.) become null and void. Also, any projects that said nation was working on also become null and void. If you plan on leaving and wish to see another nation claim your territory, set it up with them (and the Regional Admin) BEFORE YOU LEAVE AND RP IT!!!!

17) 30 consecutive days without posting on the RMB constitutes grounds for removal from the map, unless good cause (RL troubles, etc) can be shown. The Founder reserves the right to retain or dismiss non RPing nations at his discretion. Exemptions are available, but good cause must be shown when asking for one. Any exemption stops once a post is made by the nation in question. The 30-day posting rule then goes back into effect. TG the Founder for details.

18) If and when any nation institutes military conscription (a draft), the following timeline WILL BE ADHERED TO:

Basic training: 8-11 RP weeks (8-11 RL days).

Advanced training: (how to fly planes, drive tanks, fire artillery etc.): 6-8 ADDITIONAL RP weeks (6-8 additional RL days).

No more than 1% of your MILITARY AGE POPULATION can be trained at any one time. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

Equipment for any additional troops MUST BE built or bought or listed in your Factbook PRIOR to conscription being announced.

19) Your military cannot exceed 2% of your MILITARY AGE (18-35) population. That equates to 23% of your TOTAL population.

20) You are allowed only one claim change, so choose carefully. "Nation hopping" (i.e. changing your land claim frequently) will not be tolerated.
