== Description ==
A [[settlement]], or deed, is an area of land owned by a player or group of players: a [[mayor]] and optional [[citizen]]s(if any). A settlement is marked by a [[settlement token]] on an outdoor tile somewhere within its borders. <!--See this website for details about the new deed system introduced in February of 2010: http://sites.google.com/a/wurmonline.com/new-deed-system/ -->
The mayor is the most important citizen of a settlement.
A character may only be a citizen or mayor of one settlement at a time per server. The same character can be a citizen or mayor of another settlement on a different server. A player with multiple characters can have each character in a different settlement on the same server and may own multiple settlements on the same server if each character is the mayor of one settlement.
== Advantages to Deeding Land ==* Control of who is allowed which actions within the settlement area.* [[Deed guards]] protecting the settlement.* Setting reputations to keep out unwanted people (see [[Kill on Sight]]).* A settlement token to access your [[bank]] account.
* On settlements with over 30 days upkeep in their coffers:
** No decay on buildings, fences, or decorative items.** No monthly partial loss of bulk items in crates or other bulk storage.* Maintenance of signs, lamps, banners and flags by spirit guards.* Village chat.* Instant logout when leaving Wurm inside the settlement (some exceptions apply).* Respawn at your own settlement from anywhere on the map when you die.* Respawn at [[Ally#Allies_and_wars|allied]] settlements that are within 50 [[tile]]s when you die.
* [[Skill]]-loss when dying on your own deed or allied deed is only 0.025. [[Suicide]]s have the normal skill-loss of 0.25
* [[Branding]] animals to show the village they belong to and to allow managing their permissions.
''Note: Vote command gives the confirmation message: "You vote for Name as mayor this week.", so possibly the mayor can only be changed once per week, regardless of the number of elections?''
== Citizens ==
Each citizen is assigned a role determining which actions are allowed inside the settlement. Customizing, adding, and removing roles, requires the '''manage roles''' permission.
The non-founding mayor of a deed can change from democracy to dictatorship by opening the resize deed box and unchecking the box for democracy.
