How about a chapter on interesting fictional legal systems? My favorite example is Goachin law where the greatest crime is ignorance of the repercussions of your actions. If you’re found innocent you’re judged unworthy of the responsibilities of sentientience and killed.
To be found guilty you must prove that truly and deeply understand the ramifications of your actions. The guilty go free. The innocent die.
- pavel_lishin 8y agoI recently read China Mieville's "The City and The City", which features two countries - each the size of a large city - that cohabitate the same physical space, but are otherwise entirely different legal entities, with national borders. I don't want to say too much about it, because slowly learning more about this system and society is one of the fun parts of the book, but you can Google for a brief synopsis of how it works.
