Terms of use
Last updated 11 November 2026
In short. Edictum is free. Play fair, be decent to other players, and don't try to break the game. Moderators may remove posts or hide nations that break these rules. The game is offered as it is, and may change.
The game
Edictum (edictumgame.com) is a free-to-play multiplayer nation simulator, with optional purchases (see Purchases), run by Pascal Slettenaar, a private individual in Mexico (La Querencia 302-17, 21000 Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico). By playing it you agree to these terms. The game may change, pause or end; every effort goes into keeping it running and your nation safe, but nothing about its availability is promised.
Your account
- A guest account belongs to one browser. If that browser's storage is cleared, a guest nation can be lost. Link Google, Discord or an email address from the account menu to keep your nation and play it anywhere.
- Keep your sign-in to yourself. You are responsible for what is done with your account.
Play fair and be decent
Do not:
- give your nation an offensive, hateful, sexual or violent name, flag, motto or description, or post such things on the message boards or in the region chat;
- harass, threaten or bully other players, or share anyone's personal information;
- post spam or advertising, or pretend to be someone else;
- cheat: change your nation outside the game (for example with your browser's developer tools or scripts), play automatically, or use a bug to your advantage (report bugs instead);
- try to break, overload or get into the game, its servers or other players' accounts.
Players can report posts and nations. Moderators may remove posts, silence players in the region chat, hide or remove nations, or ban accounts that break these rules, with or without warning. If you think a decision is wrong, create a support ticket on the Help page or write to p.slettenaar@gmail.com.
What you create
You keep whatever rights you have in what you create in the game. You allow Edictum to store it and to show it to other players for as long as it is in the game. Your nation and your posts are public.
Purchases
- The Shop (the Bureau of National Finery) sells cosmetics and small conveniences: the Founder’s Package, the Nation Identity Card Pack and membership of the Chancery Club. They change how your nation looks or add a convenience; none gives an advantage in prestige, rank, resources or strength.
- Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Buying is also subject to Paddle’s buyer terms.
- Purchases belong to your account, which needs a linked sign-in, and follow it to every device and to any nation you found later. They are for use in the game, have no cash value, and cannot be transferred or exchanged.
- The Founder’s Package is sold until 1 February 2027, 23:59:59 UTC, by the game’s server clock. A checkout opened before then counts if it is paid within two hours of the end; a later payment is refunded in full, and if the refund cannot be made the package is delivered.
- The Chancery Club renews every month at the price shown until you cancel. Cancel at any time under Manage subscription in the Shop: the membership lasts until the end of the month you paid for. When it ends, the cosmetics you picked stay yours, saved presets still load, the Chronicle becomes read-only, and no edict on your desk is lost.
- Refunds are handled by Paddle under its buyer terms and the consumer law that applies to you. If a payment is refunded or charged back, what it paid for is removed from your account. A gift belongs to the nation it was given to once paid; a refund or chargeback of it goes to whoever paid and removes it from that nation. See the refund policy; prices and what each purchase includes are on the prices page.
- Deleting your account first cancels any membership, and what the account bought goes with it.
No guarantees
The game is provided as it is, without warranties. As far as the law allows, Edictum is not liable for any loss, including the loss of a nation or its progress, interruptions, or mistakes in the game. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, or your rights as a consumer.
Stopping
You can stop playing at any time, and delete your nation and account from the account menu. Access to the game can end for an account that breaks these terms.
Law
The laws of Mexico apply to these terms, and disputes go to the competent courts of Mexico, unless the consumer protection rules of the country where you live give you other rights.
Changes and contact
If these terms change, the new version appears on this page with a new date at the top. Questions: p.slettenaar@gmail.com. How your data is handled is set out in the privacy notice.
