-Yes, but most are colossal wastes of time. The ones that aren't go 
something like this: Their grid is like ours, but coming from the opposite 
direction. They started with ownership and have very little else. So we 
could export some Grid objects, certainly... make a little off the trade, 
too, I have no doubt. I say that because I think I know how we could ensure 
that no one steals our rules to save cash and vice versa. Give Ambassadors 
veto power if the proposed rule too closely resembles a rule in another 
Nomic - this might mean restricting it to one Ambassador per other Nomic, so 
they can be familiar enough with the rules. Make that a required universal 
clause for trade and we're in business, so to speak.-
