What about,

A Society may have internal rules that are binding upon its Members.

I would interpret that as saying that the for the members of the society,
the internal rules *are* rules of the game.

Besides, the default case doesn't forbid societies from changing the
Gamestate. It forbids *players* from changing the gamestate. Unless you want
societies to count as players, but that would be... ugh.
