Well that’s kind of my point – what if they don’t behave? If everyone ever has the full and express permission of TEP to call themselves TEP and, I assume, recruit from TEP, then we can’t control who does that.

Also not to get too pedantic, but the Concordat does not make any mention of NationStates.net and our government would legally exist even if NationStates.net exploded. In that sense, it does technically apply to other games, as it does to off-site platforms like discord, even those which are not owned by TEP. If I met the TWP Delegate on Roblox and shared regional secrets, I would still be committing treason-espionage. I think if any community is saying “We’re an official extension of The East Pacific,” they are and should be bound by the Concordat and our OOC Administration.

There is nothing to stop someone IC or OOC banned from adopting TEP’s name in other games in the first place. This policy does nothing other than provide support to any good pioneering TEPer.

For the legal technicalities, providing secrets through Roblox would be related to NS, and so it would still be tied to NS. The Concordat does not have to name the site, it is obvious that it means the Concordat is the constitution for the government of the region of The East Pacific on the site of NationStates. ‘Nation’, ‘region’, ‘eject’, and others. The most obvious references are A.7 and A.8 relating to taking the Delegacy through means not specified in law and recruitment from Frontiers. A TEP government for another game would need to be included by amendments to the Concordat so it can apply beyond one game.

This is my reading of the law.
