Flag pages now show the flag administration's circulars
Every flag on Skydex has a page: the ships flying it that players have caught, who caught them and how rare the flag is in the collection. Those pages said nothing about the flag itself, though. A flag is an administration that writes rules for its ships, and it publishes them as circulars.
Now a flag page ends with a block called Circulars of the flag administration: the five newest documents with their date and number, each title linked to the original file on the administration's own site. Under the list there's a link to the full index on superronin.com, our site for ship managers, which reads these lists at least once a day. The FAQ on the page gets one more answer too: where the administration publishes and how many circulars it has put out this year.
Which flags. The block appears where we can read the administration's list:
- Panama, with the Merchant Marine Circulars of the Panama Maritime Authority. Panama revises its circulars in place, so the date is the month of the current revision.
- Tanzania, with the Zanzibar Maritime Authority. Almost every ship with a Tanzanian flag in AIS is on the Zanzibar international register (TZIRS), so that is the administration we show.
- Belize, with the notices of IMMARBE.
Skydex creates a flag page once someone has caught a ship flying that flag, so Tanzania and Belize get their block the day a player catches one of their ships. More administrations will come as superronin learns to read their lists; the list of what it reads is public.
Rules we kept. Titles stay in the language the administration writes them in, and only the words around them follow your language setting. If the list hasn't been read for a day and a half, the block disappears instead of showing an old list as current. Nothing about superronin's clients appears on Skydex; the block uses only the public documents.
If you sail under one of these flags or manage ships that do, the superronin bulletin sends new circulars to you directly.
