Almost everywhere. I know of a few game servers in which it is quite allowable to have (albeit somewhat difficult to maintain) two accounts/empires. (It can be quite hilarious when someone goes to war with themselves to stay in character)
But if this is to be strictly forbidden, there needs to be some method of blocking this. One of the most effective things I've seen is IP address tracking, most commonly in breeding games. Only one account can be made per address and anyone found to be in violation will get their address(es) permanently banned from the site. Few people are willing to maintain proxies to switch in/out of every few minutes or go to another location to use their second account. Fewer still can pull it off effectively enough that it doesn't get noticed.

I've had a death in the family to tend to, plus anacreon seems pretty dead as well, so I think its time for a break. See yall in the next version.

Hi Finnian!
The galaxy seems to have not changed since I last played (a few months ago). It's like the galaxy is frozen in time. I don't think anything exciting will happen until the next version comes out.....
See you then!
You can see I'm very bored.
