Such actions undermine the integrity of the "Nation Spotlight" and will result in disqualification and other appropriate disciplinary actions.
• Warfare and Voting - Waging war solely for the purpose of garnering votes for the "Nation Spotlight" is not permitted. Military actions within the game should be driven by roleplay narratives and strategic considerations rather than the pursuit of nominations.

The severity of the punishment will be determined by the RN administration based on the nature and frequency of the offense.
