Law Examples

These Law Examples are player-created laws, made on the Web UI. These laws can be used to accomplish common goals in-game, such as reward players for cleaning up tree debris, impose a wealth tax, or punish inactive players.

Keep in mind that some of the laws here may have been created in older versions of Eco, therefore their appearance, clauses, or effects in-game may be outdated.
