Create a new rule as a member of the otzma card rule suite entitled
"Otzma card of type Coup" and reading as follows (delimited by SUQ):

SUQ
There exist an otzma card of type "Coup" which must be played in the
public forum. It has an F designation of rare and no more than 2 may
exist at any one time.

When this card is played the player who played it must name a government
type. The Current Government of Ackanomia will then be changed to this
government type as soon as the OiCoRT has made any necessary random
determinations (e.g. who gets to become despot).

The counter action to this card is that the Current Government of
Ackanomia changes to Anarchy.

{{[
   This is an attempt to fix two problems.  First, the possible fact that
   the timing of rules between rule 620 and rule 607 is not sufficient to
   actually have given me the goose and prevented the winning condition.
   Second, according to how the goose rules are worded, any judge can (on
   a CWCFJ that e thinks is false) judge it undecided, giving the goose to
   initiator, then when the Cortex judges it, it has a verdict of false,
   the player gets the goose AGAIN and is forced to pay A$60.  This seems
   a bit harsh, and too easily abused by the judge.   My opinion is that
   Undecided should be a 'semi-verdict' as it is really a passing of the
   buck, and thus an undecided CFJ should still be retractable and should
   not give the player the goose.

   KAOS, Angry Villager. If the event which granted one of these titles

in rule 841, replace the following PARTHENON-delimited text

PARTHENON
1) There are two types of towers: Ostentatious Towers and Public Towers. An
Ostentatious Tower is a tower that a player adds to a building they own, or
builds as
a stand-alone tower not attached to any building (the term "Ostentatious
Tower"
is always with respect to a particular player). A Public Tower is a tower that
a player adds to a public building, (that is, a building defined by the rules
which is owned by no player), or to a kaa of public land. 

2) A player is always said to be 'permitted' to build (or extend) an
Ostentatious Tower associated with them. A player is said to be permitted to
build (or extend) a
Public Tower provided they submit a plan to the Senate, and the Senate votes
approval of that plan. Such a plan must describe a tower that could legally be
built (or
a legal extension of an extant Public Tower). The Public Tower so built (or
extension thereof) as a result of this permission must accord with the plan
approved by the
Senate.
