=Government=
Despite being called a republic, Wabash appears to be a dictatorship. This is supported by the lack of elections or even the mention of such. Citizens of the Republic have to pay taxes in the form of either money or crops. Failure to do so often results in prison sentences. Individual rights are greatly curtailed, and the Wabash State Police Armed Militia frequently detains people for no reason at all, often without so much as an explanation.

===Cleveland Act===
Cleveland Act: The Cleveland Act was a law passed in the Wabash Republic sometime after its creation. The law criminalizes the ownership of any firearms by citizens except for any active member of the State Police or the State Police Armed Militia. Passed by the Wabash Republic, it was meant to take full of control of the firearms in the areas administered by the government thereby curtailing any chance of violent rebellion. Any violation of the law is punishable by death. Due to the Wabash Republic's ban upon civilian firearms, the State Polcie WSPAM is the only group authorized to carry rifles and sidearms. Therefore, the State Police is the most hierarchical and armed group operating in the Republic, although that has not stopped various groups from obtaining them, such as the Rebels.
 
===Immigration/Defense Act===
Article 7, Section 28 of this law allows officials of the Republic to question or even detain any person that they suspect of criminal or subversive behavior. Per the Immigration and Naturalization Defense Act, all Militia personnel are able to search, detain and question anyone who is believed to be involved in criminal or subversive behavior. Militia do however detain people for no reasons at all. [[File:ColonelEmmaRussell.jpeg|thumb|right|Wabash State Police Colonel Emma Russell]]
