New judges have to wait a day or two.
Ah, gotcha.
Banning rebels can be done instantly by the ruler, and the way Lefanis was requesting this change, banning loyalists would have been instantly available as well.
Yes, but he's already admitted that there is at least one better idea for going about it, and I'm trying to solve the underlying problem here.
So how long does a government count as being a rebel government?
A week seems reasonable to me. That allows, for instance, a reformation of the government and all associated elections (if any) to finish, and is still less than the 10 days for serious Ruler fame.
