I suggest that each colony establish a forum account that is named according to each colony's respective government, and that the account be shared among the leadership of the ruling factions in that colony, so that the laws established by the various law enforcement factions can be consolidated. For instance, right now the LSF may establish certain laws, the SA other laws, and the LPI might confiscate all the donuts, but under the system I am proposing, all three are posted under one account named (for example) The Republic of Liberty ( or whatever is most applicable).
I think this may also help dispel the protests of those who claim that the legal factions are making the laws rather than the governments.
In other words, give the house governments an official voice that is distinguished from the factions that enforce its dictates.
This is in fact, much closer to the way societies actually work, and will also serve the practical purpose of making updating the house laws much easier because they are not under the private forum accounts of its leaders who may be inactive or busy elsewhere for periods of time when the posts need updating.
I think it might also be appropriate for the Outcasts and Corsairs to each have one submission if they so desire, since they are also de facto houses and the rest of the factions fall into one camp or the other.
