A Sample of The Laws of the Nations


Epoch 1

Note: Restriction of Movement refers to the ability to leave villages, townships, and cities alongside the ability to change habitation. It also refers to the ability to leave nation borders.

Note: These laws are are a survey of laws one might brush up on and are not comprehensive. Along with their use in-game, they also show the differences in law between governments that follow Equilibratism, Democratic Equitianism, Harmonism, Totalitarian Theocracy, and a much less awful Theocracy. Except for Thrale's slave laws, any of these could be applied to a similar nation.
