Game Administration Kingdom (restated) - Kingdom 1:1 will be dedicated to Game Administration and Utopia News Reporters. The provinces in this Kingdom will remain in protection for the duration of the age. These provinces should not be messaged to replace the use of Utopia Support e-mail or for reporting violations of the Game Rules. Utopia News Reporters will have a dedicated province in this Kingdom to enable them a safe and secure place to message Kingdoms with privacy for their in-game accounts and Forum accounts. Kingdoms or players that receive messages from these Reporter accounts can be assured the person they are speaking with is who they say they are and not some random person scamming for information.
