Nation Legal system Details
 Ostrov Common The sole Court of Ostrov hears very few cases, although it generally rules based on precedent. It is also worth noting that Ostrov has never had a written constitution.
 Magia Regnum Religious The ultimate authority within Magia Regnum lies within the will of the Ōrumaiti with it's interpretations and decrees being recorded under Ōrumaiti no Michi, the official state religion.
 Choslow Mixed There is civil law that governs much of the nation, in the more desert parts of the country there is more influence of religious laws from antiquity.
 Ekena Civil Law Courts within Ekena have equal but seperate power to that of the legislative and executive body. Their source of law derived from the interpretation of legislations and have a high degree of autonomy and independence from other frameworks to operate.
 Nova Solarius Civil Law One of the Oldest Civil Law in Sparkalia known as Ius Civile Nationum was founded during King Solus I reign, in 7BGD. Everyone is equal within the law, from nobles to peasants.
 Kaidokoku Civil Law Originally the nation used a combination of religious and common law however after the Chinotsuki Empire fell many states chose civil law as to not abide by court decisions made in the imperial era.
 Japuile Bijuridical Oros, Limne and Artane have the most important and specialized courts, while the rest of the towns have general courts. In the most important court cases, including treason, the Grand Duke becomes one of the three judges.
 Kerussiria Civil Law In most of the republic, all is governed by civil law though in more northern and extreme societies, some are governed by religious law but this is considered illegal by the state.
 Dairana Bijuridicial Šaja has the supreme court, which sees the most important of cases. Some of the rulings in the court are mainly based on religious factors, as most of the judges (there are 10) are very religious. Though, it is not entirely based on religion
 Cheonghae Civil Law Only the Constitution enacted by the lawmakers of the Republic of Cheonghae at the time the Federation was formed and the Civil law enacted by the National Assembly of the Federation is recognized as valid laws. Religious law is not recognized.
 Tepror Civil Law The administration teams create the laws, then the MoSs enforce the laws.
 Ariseo Civil Law Ariseo adheres strictly to its civil war which is primarily aimed at serving Imperial Law but also enforcing "Imperial Living Standards". It follows a system where the accused is assumed innocent until proven otherwise, but those accused are often seen negatively within society and within the system.

 Ardenarai

Common Ardenarai adheres to the laws set by their current rulers. There is no real standard, anything could be changed based on a mere whim. Many rulings made in judicial court are "based on tradition".
Civil Law Kyldegardian law typically begins as popular referenda, verified in ordinance with the constitution by the Council of Wardens, and then usually approved to be voted on by the masses. If it recieves a yes vote from the people, it will then be double-checked by the Council of Wardens and ratified by a simple majority vote from the Council. The constitution is lenient and usually interpreted in many different ways, but common precedent is typically applied in law ratification. Many extensive checks are gone through to verify the integrity of votes, usually requiring hundreds of employed vote checkers per canton, sometimes more.
