My proposal for the wording:

The ca.* newsgroups are only for discussion of subjects related to
California.  They were made for residents of California and others
interested in California.  Since these newsgroups are intended for
topics directly relevant to residents of California.  The default
policy is that any topic not at least partly related to California is
considered off-topic, though this rule may be modified by charter.
