Nation Legal system Details
 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.
 Tyreseia Civil law Tyreseia's legal system is bound largely by statutes passed by the Supreme Workers' Assembly, which is itself constrained by the 1871 Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the 1880 Charter of Government. Together, these two documents are referred to as the Twin Charters, the Two Treasures (in mocking reference to the Nazarist holy book), or the Tyreseian Constitution. Most federal laws are encoded in the Tyreseian Law Codex. Law enforcement is typically provided by local communes and municipalities along an alternative-policing model, augmented by the Republican Guard. Local officers enforce both federal laws and local laws, but both sets of laws have their own court systems. Broadly speaking, federal law violations lead to felony convictions, while local laws are limited and scope and can only be misdemeanor or alternative minor convictions.
 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.
