fantasy reference referring to a very large body of work which we can more or less use as our 
guidelines. The Ministers in charge, for example, would be expected to try to keep the books in 
mind when making their decisions. And if you haven't read the books, that's also fine because a) 
you'll feel less bound to only use what the books use, and b) This series has spawned countless 
web pages, which I'll probably be using as references more than the books, as it's easier to find 
stuff in them.

If it isn't written in the ruleset of B Nomic, it doesn't count.

I haven't read past the first half of the first book of this series, and I am certainly not going 
to trawl a bunch of badly written geocities websites for obscure points on how it is supposed to 
work.

Write rules that work in the context of B Nomic and B Nomic alone, not ones that rely on an 
outside source please (pun intended)
