The Off-Grid is the world Motus Gridia does not govern. Existing jurisdictions keep authority beyond the network boundary.
The Off-Grid is the part of the world Motus Gridia does not govern. Nation-states continue to hold authority there, while cities follow their own legal systems.
Rural communities remain under the rules already recognised in their region. The same is true for informal settlements and independent markets.
The boundary between the two worlds is legal rather than physical. It can pass through an existing city or follow a route across a wider region without placing a wall through the landscape.
Crossing that boundary changes which rules apply. Basic Law governs the network side, while the existing jurisdiction continues beyond it.
Contact follows published agreements. Goods enter through recognised trade lanes. Emergency aid travels through routes agreed with the surrounding authority.
People cross through Magway entry points where the handover between systems is already understood. These connections allow cooperation without giving Motus Gridia authority over the territory around it.
