I think that goes very much against the intent of r1592, unless r1592
was intended to make subgames impossible.

To make a subgame consistent with that interpretation of r1592, I'd have
to redefine Players, Public Fora, nweeks, and so on, independently of
all other rules. Dave would have to declare Writs of Delay independently
for B Nomic and for Political Go. The game wouldn't be able to award
Points at the end. In short, a Subgame would have to be completely
independent from the Nomic, so we might as well just be organizing
chess-by-email matches between players.

The interpretation I prefer is that, since all possible actions in
Political Go happen by applying one rule (which happens to _reference_
other rules), it is valid.
