---|---|---|
Ghant | Common law | Ghant has a common law system in which laws are derived from precedent; judges interpret and enforce it. Historically, the Common Law was based on the Old Laws. |
Latium | Civil law | While the Latin government operates under a largely uncodified constitution, Latium's legal system is a heavily codified civil law system with the Codes of Law serving as the compilation and codification of the general and permanent statutes. Due to the civil law system, magistrates and judges general do not rule on constitutionality of Imperial Edicts, executive orders, or Senate legislation (unless legislation is determined to be "deemed beyond the Senate's functions or ability to pass"), and a lack of jury trial for nearly all non-criminal cases. |
Ottonia | Civil Law | The Federation operates on a system of primarily civil law, wherein most laws are codified. Unusually, the federal government operates on a constitution that is largely unwritten, and as such, in cases regarding the powers and functions of government, judicial precedent is still important, and judges have latitude to apply precedents and personal judgment in making rulings in cases where the law is unclear or absent. |
Sydalon | Civil law | Sydalon's legal system is primarily based on Latin law and in some instances canon law. |
Thraysia | Civil law | The Thraysian Imperium is based on a system of civil law, wherein most laws are codified. There is no explicit Constitution the absolute monarchy operates by, though the Thraysian Charter of Liberties ensures a guarantee of certain inalienable rights; Imperial Edicts are deemed as absolute otherwise. Juries are not present for non-criminal cases. |
Yisrael | Bijuridical | There are parallel religious courts in addition to civil law courts, with the religious courts divided by Jewish law and recognized non-Jewish religious law. |
