Civil Code Amendment
Civil Code Amendment
Passed 24 April 2025 and signed 25 April 2025.
Explanatory Notes
Seeing a minor oversight regarding the enforceability of obligations, I've made revisions to clarify this point. In addition, I've made several small but meaningful improvements, such as reaffirming that individuals cannot "own property" within SimDemocracy, since no such property exists in our digital existence. These updates also include minor textual refinements to improve clarity and consistency throughout.
