Flags and the law

A switch on the flag card: no one boards you and you board no one — guns only. Against captains it works only under the neutral flag.

  2. The note beside it says it: against captains it protects only under the neutral flag (under another flag, switched off, it reads «Not in effect: your flag is not neutral»). Against the sea's pirates it works under any flag.
