Annexation

Annexation was the process by which independent communities were absorbed into the greater Fraughtian Community. Many regions and almost all colonies were formed by annexation, including the Central Minecraft Region and Dare the Hare Region. The first instance of annexation being codified in the rules appears in the "Fraughtian External Relations and Annexation Act of 2016 (F.E.R.A.A.)", defining the differing types of recognition and procedure for annexation. The F.E.R.A.A. was kept in place in the Protocol of 2018, only being slightly redefined in the new document. The terms for annexation and foreign relations were completely rewritten in the Rules of the Community (ROTC). In 2020 the "Terms for Annexation" went into effect, which outlined a new process for annexation. Finally, following the 2020 controlled collapse, annexation was removed from the ROTC, although protocols for mergers and partnerships still exist.
