Nation | Legal system | Details |
---|---|---|
Aretias | Bijuridical | Aretias' legal system is based upon a mix of Latin law, Lihnidosi law, and Vardanan customary law. |
Gelonia | Civil law | Gelonia's legal system is primarily based on Latin law. |
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. |
Kayahallpa | Religious law | Kayahallpan law is based on the Supreme Leaders' modern interpretation of Sakbeist ethics and Yuyaqpi jurisprudence through the rulings of the nation's kamasqas, as outlined by the Kayahallpan Constitution, and by ancient Wari customary laws. |
Kembesa | Multijuridical | Kembesan law is derived from numerous sources. Criminal law and civil procedure are based primarily on She'djic mantras and traditional practices. Edicts from the monarch are another source of law, typically in developing areas regarding new technologies or offenses. Edicts are generally situated within the context of Kembesan customary law and Nazarist teachings. The Kembesan Orthodox Nazarist Church also has official jurisdiction over sumptuary laws and certain crimes of morality. Oftentimes, this area of the law operates independently from the broader criminal and civil legal systems in Kembesa. |
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. |
Mniohuta | Civil law | Mniohutan law is based largely off a mix of Mniohuti traditional law (adapted for the times) with influences from other states such as Wazheganon. Because the constitution often bends to the will of the people and follows the "living breathing document" principle there is no constitutional court, however, some higher level courts can bring into question certain aspects of laws if they have been edited or in any way changed by the Council of Elders. |
Mysia | Bijuridical | Mysia's legal system is based upon a mix of Latin law, Lihnidosi law, and Mysian customary law. |
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. |
Polnitsa | Civil law | Law in Polnitsa is based on civil law system that draws influences from Latin law, Audonias-Gariman law, which are codified into the Sophian Codes of Law and Polnitsan Penal Code. |
Sydalon | Civil law | Sydalon's legal system is primarily based on Latin law and in some instances canon law. |
Talahara | Mixed | Talaharan law is a hybrid system of customary Kel Aman and Kel Hadar law combined with a codified Constitution and legal codes. In the legal landscape, customary laws set a baseline that may be modified by laws passed by Legislative Councils. The customary laws may also be used to interpret new laws. The Constitution of Talahara is the supreme legal document in the Talaharan Commune. |
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. |
Vardana | Bijuridical | Vardana's legal system is based upon a mix of Latin law, Lihnidosi law, and Vardanan customary law. |
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. |
Zamorodna | Customary law | The New Compact, formed in 1742, provides for limited constitutional oversight in Zamorodna. Certain stanytsy have legislated or otherwise introduced extensive legal codes, but the foundational legal framework of Zamorodna is based primarily on Kvor customary laws. |
