Repeal the rule “Natural Monuments”. Remove every bullet point in the ruleset that contains the string “monument”.
Double-checking whether players actually want this rule, given that it enacted with one player giving only a “very tentative” vote in favour and one voting against, and two others voting DEF. Monuments seem pretty similar to single-face Dice, to me, which we can already create.
This just stood out for adding an unnecessary extra layer of stuff (including an additional compulsory step for every turn action, and more Land markup) at a time when turn complexity and Land parsing are causing trouble for some players, myself included.
If the player consensus on Monuments is genuinely “I am very tentative about this”, “I am against this”, “I don’t know” and “I don’t know either”, it may not be the best use of our time playing it out and trying to patch it up. If the DEF votes meant something else and the players who didn’t vote love the idea, though, fair enough.

[Josh] That’s eerie - I don’t remember that dynasty at all, but “Whenever the Imperatrix advances the Age, all values tracked in the GNDT are reset to the values defined by the rules for new starters” sounds like ground we’re unwittingly retreading here.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
