                          Concept : Sector ownership

NAME
   Sector-ownership - Sector ownership

Level: Basic

In  order to own a sector, you must have at least one of the following present
in the sector:

   1) mil
   2) a land unit
   3) non-captured civilians

If at any time you do not have at least one of those 3 things in a sector, you
will lose control of it.  If you are not the old owner at the  time  you  lose
the  sector, it will revert to the old owner.  Otherwise it will revert to the
deity, country #0, even if another country's land units  are  present  in  the
sector.   If  there  are no people at all in the sector, it will revert to the
deity.

Note that this means that if you attack a sector and do not move in, you  will
not  gain  possession  of it. If there are civilians in the sector, the sector
will revert back to the original owner. If there are no civilians in the  sec-
tor  (and  no mil or units, because you just killed them), the sector will re-
vert back to the deity.

Similarly, if you abandon a sector, it'll revert immediately.
