Hi everybody.

Is this about developers, or more about the requirements of citizenship in a watershed, as enforced by its native and naturalized population?

In Oceania, when you are in a watershed community (a vanua) you are bound by the rules of the community and the rule of the chiefs.  So should it be all over the world.  If that rule is wise, then you will be forbidden to do anything that harms others, or even influences others without a village consensus and ruling on the matter.

So who’s really falling down on the job here?
