Lunar Mining Code

The Lunar Mining Code is a set of rules, regulations and procedures which regulate the prospecting, exploration and exploitation of minerals on the moon. It was drawn up and agreed by each of the Economic Combines.

The Code includes directives on the minimum number of holidays, paid breaks and rest days which miners are entitled to, and restricts excessive work.

The terrorist group "R" admitted responsibility for an attack on Moonbase Noriega on 29 October 2142 – which it claimed was a protest against CenBank and the Universal Identification Law. The group also claimed that miners at the base were being overworked under pressure from CenBank to increase production, in violation of the Lunar Mining Code. This charge was denied by both CenBank and the Hispanic Commonwealth which owned the base.
