Article 2: Claims

Furthermore, a local governing body must be registered within the International Space Committee's records.
A Space Port can be claimed by a local governing body, and has the right of ownership to it. This means, they can allow or deny use and access of it. A decision is made by the local governing body if another entity can use it. A max distance of 10 kilometers to each spaceport claims is valid, more is to be considered by the International Space Committee.
Under a threat of attack or disturbance, a militia may be allowed to protect the common people.
