The Human Race shall be given the rights to settle a designated territory ("Human Territory"), sufficient to sustain their population.\n\n2. The Human Race will be guaranteed an autonomous government, established according to a constitution of their own choosing. Said government will have the power to set domestic laws, subject to limitation by the Garaxas Planetary Bill of Rights and by the terms of this treaty.\n\n3. Territory currently inhabited by the Bee Race (including but not limited to Bee Fort, Bee City, Big Desert, Swamp of Bees, Volcano of Bees, Archipelago of Bees, Hot Springs Zone, Cave Zone, Cave Zone II, and Ancient Temple Ruin) will be ineligible for designation as Human Territory.\n\n4.

They will not develop or // @@font-family:"Press Start",monospace;font-size: 12pt;DESTROY@@ //any land listed as an endagered ecosystem by the Garaxas Conservation Authorities.\n\n5.
