For the purposes of any given dynastic Rule, no Citizen with a Clearance Level higher than the Clearance Level of that Rule is a Citizen.

For the purposes of any given dynastic Rule, any Citizen with a Clearance Level higher than the Clearance Level of that Rule is an Officer but not a Citizen.

Is this necessary?

I think it’s useful, if not necessary. This allows later rules to easily appoint any Citizen exempt from the rule as an Enforcer of the rule.
We need to ensure that the rules can’t force an Officer to do something, though, as this would defeat the whole clearance system set out. I have an idea for a fix…but it’s too late. I’ll let it simmer in my brain overnight, and post it tomorrow.

[lilomar] Oh, I think that’s worth keeping, but it looks like there may be some need for exceptions. We could maybe say that if a proposed rule would make a subjectively “bad” thing happen to an Officer, the High-Programmer could veto it. Higher-ranking Officers only get to enforce things, or benefit from them.

Hm,
per kevan, and with the understanding that I will probably veto any rule that will hurt “officers”. (unless it is very entertaining…)
