Who can create a Franchise, squatting prevention, seed requirements, approval process, name disputes.
Why this matters
Who can create a Franchise? How is squatting prevented? Should there be seed requirements (some minimum canon before “opening”)? What approval process applies, and how are name disputes resolved?
The Franchise creation moment sets tone for everything downstream: a permissive policy invites squatting and dormant placeholder properties; a restrictive policy gatekeeps a process that should welcome new world-builders.
