A short, sharp set of principles that shape how X Town behaves as a micro-nation:

1. Curiosity drives progress.

2. Craft earns influence.

3. Integrity sustains trust.

4. Contribution compounds value.

5. Knowledge is a civic asset.

6. Respect is non-negotiable.

7. High trust enables high output.

This isn’t a manifesto — it’s the backbone of everything the town builds.
