House Governments are required to provide equal membership and rights to representatives of every official lawful faction of their house. While the in-roleplay government entity will only consist of reps of official lawful factions of the house, providing out-of-roleplay membership to unofficial reps and other individuals of their region is optional.
The staff will continue with the same hands-off approach as before when it comes to house government matters, and house gov reps are expected to settle any disputes and disagreements internally, but if a government fails or refuses to provide equal membership to every official lawful faction of their house, they will not be recognized as the official government entity by the staff until they do so.
