Create a new dynastic rule entitled “Naming Scheme” with the text
Each Citizen has a Designation, which is tracked in the GNDT. Their Designation is their prime-name (a string of letters, the first capitalized, the rest lower-case) followed by a dash, their single-letter Clearance Level abbreviation followed by a dash (if their Clearance Level has no abbreviation, this is ommitted), their Sector (three capitalized letters) followed by a dash, and their Clone-Number. A Citizen’s prime-name defaults to their name. A Citizen’s Sector defaults to “BGN”. The High-Programmer may change a Citizen’s prime-name or Sector at that Citizens request.
Create a new dynastic rule entitled “Clearance Levels” with the text
A Clearance Level is one of (from highest to lowest)
* ULTRAVIOLET
* VIOLET
* INDIGO
* BLUE
* GREEN
* YELLOW
* ORANGE
* RED
* INFRAREDEach Clearance Level above INFRARED has a single-letter abbreviation, which is its first letter.
Each Citizen has a Clearance Level, which defaults to INFRARED.
Create a new dynastic rule entitled “Clones” with the text
Each Citizen has a Clone-Number which defaults to 1. Whenever a rule or a game action causes a Citizen to die, that Citizen’s Clone-Number is incremented by 1.
Set the Clearance Level of all Citizens to RED. Set the Clearance Level of the High-Programmer to ULTRAVIOLET.
The Computer assigns names with great care. Any puns inherent in clone designations are purely coincidental. To think otherwise would be treason.

How can a Citizen’s prime-name default to eir name, when some Citizen’s names are not “a string of letters, the first capitalized, the rest lower-case”?

Yes, the last sentence of this proposal means that Citizens who are active at the time of Enactment are at higher than the default Clearance Level.
That’s how The Computer rewards its favored Troubleshooters.

You probably could have kept the death rule from last dynasty around.

[Qwazukee] This is fixed by the next proposal. We could probably use a Glossary entry defining what happens to illegally defined string variables, though, as well as numbers.
Qwazukee:
Yeah I just saw that, CoV
