Such authorizations are the exclusive right of the Council to approve.
• The government of Brightshore shall not expand its borders by force of arms into territory belonging to another recognized government or people group.
• The government of Brightshore will hold its citizenry accountable to these tenets while they are present in foreign lands, up to and including criminal prosecution for unprovoked aggression.
