ya! a lite citizenship! why not have a make your own citizenship? you have
options, the one you want you click, the ones you dont you leave. so saving
builds is $20 all worlds is $15, contact list is $10, telegrams is $10, only
if you have contacts enabled thou. and something else can be 15 lol.

encouraging them. I'm sure that's true of many other world owners who have
welcomed tourists into their worlds in the past.
