Eden Property Code
The authoritative land, ownership, tenancy, access, development, finance, and registry framework of Eden.
Government of Eden
Land and Property Regulation
This Code defines what vehicle activity is legally authorized. Criminal traffic guilt and punishment remain governed by the Eden Criminal Code and controlling Eden Legal Code.
Controlling Road Principle
Ownership, possession, access, and use each require written authority.
Keys and mechanical access are never enough. Title, occupancy, access, development, finance, and government action resolve through written law and the controlling Property Registry.
Before Property Authority Is Exercised
Four independent checks
Passing one check never silently satisfies another.
Occupancy
Lawful possessionLease or permission verified
Possession never silently establishes title.
Use
Classification compliantRecorded use and permits verified
Ownership alone does not authorize every use.
Use
Access and ordersConsent, warrant, or emergency
Entry and government action must match their lawful scope.
Title I1. Authority, Scope, and Interpretation
Title I
Establishes Eden's exclusive written framework for land, buildings, addresses, possession, ownership, and property records.

Property Provision
Purpose
Rule
This Code governs the classification, registration, ownership, possession, transfer, lease, finance, development, use, access, protection, and disposition of property in Eden.

- Criminal guilt remains governed by a written criminal offense.

Application

Property Provision
Exclusive Written Authority
Rule
No person or institution may impose an ownership condition, eviction, lien, seizure, zoning restriction, access duty, or property penalty that is not authorized by a published Eden provision.

A documentation gap is corrected prospectively and is not enforced by custom, assumption, or analogy.
Application
- A landlord policy cannot silently become public law.
- A department habit cannot create a property restriction.
Property Provision
Civil, Administrative, and Criminal Separation
Rule
A breach of this Code is civil or administrative unless the Eden Criminal Code expressly makes the conduct criminal.
Legal Effect
Ownership disputes, registry corrections, and lease breaches do not become crimes merely because one party alleges wrongdoing.
Application
- Fraudulent title conduct may be criminal when every ECC element is proven.
Property Provision
Strict Construction
Rule
Ambiguous restrictions shall be read narrowly in favor of the person whose home, property, money, license, or access is affected.

Guidance may explain this Code but may not enlarge it.
Application
- Unpublished zoning expectations are not enforceable.
Property Provision
Mechanical Possibility Is Not Authority
Rule
The ability to enter, lock, occupy, store, build, destroy, sell, or transfer through game mechanics does not establish legal authority.

Application
- Possessing a key does not prove title.
- Entering an unlocked building does not create permission.
Property Provision
Controlling Registry
Rule
The Eden Property Registry and its linked address, title, occupancy, permit, lien, and order records are the controlling administrative record.
Legal Effect
Physical keys, screenshots, signs, possession, or verbal claims do not override a valid live record.
Application

Property Provision

Rule
Specific street names, house numbers, postal zones, and unit schedules shall be adopted through the official Address Registry after the map is finalized.
