Oh, here's something. I've been feeling lately like the various specifications of Player-Owned-??? are getting unnecessary and extraneous. Forgive me for getting all "when I was your age" on this, but when I joined RSRP the only acronym for any player-run geo-political body rp was POC. It stood for Player Owned City even if it was a town, a kingdom, or an iceberg, and since people aren't dumb they understood what POC meant even though it wasn't literally a city.

Now everybody seems to feel the need to be super specific about it, like POK / POT / POV / POIS / POE / POI / PON and IMO it's dumb because it's adding stupid unneeded levels of complexity. Honestly, can you genuinely say with 100% certainty that you knew what every one of those PO's were, and that the deviation from "POC" actually gave you any valuable extra information you couldn't have figured out anyway? All "POC" really ever meant was that it was a settlement that was run and populated by roleplayers.
