The New Atlantis rule book came about over a number of years, and in June
1996 was published as part of the New Atlantis members handbook.
The members rules as published in the members handbook are reproduced in full,
all 22 A4 pages broke into sections with a overall contents sheet.
This is more than a rule book it is a draft definition of a new country, complete
with types of entities you will not have come across before, an honor system and
grades of citizenship. Much of this has been discussed over many years as part of
the choices project, and Atlantis prior to New Atlantis being formally set up.
The explanation covers some of the changes that have occurred since these
were published.
The rule rook is in need of a rewrite, to reflect later changes, and some
members feel that the emphasis may need to change, that a more forceful, and
responsive approach and model is needed. A lot of discussion has been going on
and will continue to, which may result in the constitution changing, or the priorities
changing.
