A few days ago a member of the Liberty Government asked me for help in rewriting their laws, and since I've asked this to be done on numerous occasions, I went ahead and did it with goals similar to the Rule Rewrite.

Goals:
- make laws faster and easier to learn for new people
- make things easier to find for everyone
- make them less confusing by putting parts that belong together together
- make them more aesthetically pleasing, better organized, and less annoying to read in order to give a better impression of discovery
- make them short enough to put into infocards on the server, similarly to the Help System

I started by cleaning up the index page of the Laws of Sirius and making a first proposal for the Laws of Liberty. That proposal can be made even shorter if some things I wasnt sure about yet will also be implemented (see the post after this one).

Currently, some examples of size of laws are in terms of word count are:

Liberty 3238 (proposal reduces to 2041 or less)
Bretonia 2978
Gallia 1147
Rheinland 3216
Corsairs 1963
Kusari 2142
Crayter 1997

I think it should be possible to reduce the number of words in each house law collection to 1500 words of less, even if that requires some smaller law changes (there are none in my proposal so far, unless I misunderstood some laws).


Proposed Index Page:
------------------------------------------------
Current:
https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...#pid183747

Problems:
- too much text to server as an effective table of contents
- small print is irrelevant for people reading the laws, only relevant for those writing them
- "A codex listing the laws and regulations applicable to" is repeated 14 times and yields 0 information
- font and colors together with the fact makes people read and average of 3 words like "The Republic of" before they get to the word that lets them find what they were looking for in every line

---

Update:

---

Put this into government rules instead of the index page:

Each Colonial Government is entitled to one submission detailing all applicable laws within their sovereign territories.

All such submissions should should be no longer than 1500 words

Current:

https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...#pid184926

Problems with current version:

- extremely long and wordy
- certain parts repeat or contradict parts that are written in a different far away place, not in the same or nearby place
- links not identify-able due to weird use of text colors
- a lot of italics, bold, and colorful text for unclear reasons that makes it harder to read
- white and light blue texts are barely distinguishable and therefor don't emphasize
- subsection numbering doesn't show the section number
- section titles have more letters in "section number" than the actual information
- the dots like • (probably) cant be copy pasted into an infocard
- some like dont reflect the forum threat title properly, and would therefore make the thread hard to fine in text only infocards

---

Update:


Changes:

- reduced number of words from 3238 to 2041. Mainly by removing repetitions, lengthy formulations, and useless details. If the "unresolved" and "proposed" parts were implemented, approximately 300 more words would be removed.
- removed mention of LWB
- moved cloak + guns-for-self-defense clauses to equipment section
- moved "Reporting Crimes" out of numbered list of crimes and created "Enforcement" section
- moved definitions from beginning to end of document
- moved POB laws to after more common crimes
- removed many italics, bold letters, and colors that made emphasis moot by being confusing and making url links unrecognizable
- adopted a more systematic 3-color + default ink color theme
- changed section separation lines to be more visible
- changed listing dots to - to make lists consistent and copy-pasteable to infocards
- changed the restricted areas section to what it is probably meant to say
- removed .s and added capital letters where appropriate in titles and headers
- changed names of links to actual forum thread names so the can be found without the url in a server infocard
- created an "enforcement" section that describes how justice is administered
Moved/removed form notes section:
- removed the specific mention of the Treaty of Curacao because Treaties are linked at the beginning
- moved the point about "interpreting the meaning of laws" to "Enforcement" section and changed it to "misleading citizens about the law"
- moved the point about choice of punishments into "Enforcement" section.
- moved the point about height of fines to "Enforcment"
- moved the point about hacking communications to "non violent crimes" and added to the definition
-moved the points about gathering evidence and challenging judgments to "Enforcement"


Unresolved:

- Section Four "II. Foreign Agencies" conflicts with stated exceptions of Section Two "II. Foreign Warships" by stating that military is not tolerated for any reason
- not clear why "human cargo" is allowed in embargo systems
- "Those found breaking the law in the House of Liberty, whether in the presence of the Liberty forces or not, forfeit all protection that the law provides. " Not sure what the purpose of this is and if its a good idea. Also "This is in case the pirate attempts to deceive authorities by falsely claiming to be the victim, and not the aggressor." seems useless. so removed it for now


Proposed but not implemented:

- The POB License laws could probably be rewritten to provide better guidance to building gameplay-enhancing POBs, using the same number of words. That would also change the content on not only wording/length of the laws, so its a separate topic.

- The list of criminals and illegal equipment is nearly identical, and the same list could be used for for both cases to save a lot of space

- examples of special permissions for ships could be moved to the request thread to unclutter the house law post

- treating equipment and ships the same (go sell where able or leave) would reduce amount of text and detail

- "Base Licensure" should probably go into a separate forum thread to unclutter the laws post

Individuals conducting criminal activities, or being part of criminal groups, will be subject to on-site punishment by officers of the Liberty forces, ranging from a verbal warning to immediate use of lethal force. Credit fines levied on the spot in space may be up to ten million credits.

Further legal action may follow if applicable. Fines levied via the neural net can be of any value, but can only be issued by the Primary Fleets of the Liberty Forces.

Judgment of officers on duty are to be abided by, but they can be challenged by contacting their superiors. The aggrieved individual has the right to inform officers of their intention to challenge their judgement, but threatening officers in any way is unacceptable.

All officers are subject to judicial review of their actions, and will be answerable to a criminal court of law if their punishments are found to be unjustly harsh or lenient.

Attempts to mislead civilians or Liberty Forces about the meaning or content of the law fall under section 2.5.


1.2 Reporting Criminal Activities

Law abiding civilians within Liberty can report crimes un-witnessed by officers of the law so they can protect them against criminal entities, via intercom or neural net. For the latter option, follow the instructions given in the Liberty Criminal Registry to file a report.

Before you build a base that you really want to keep, consider the following:


If you answered "no" to any of these, know that you are likely to lose your base through the powers that are.

You may of course attempt the experiment and experience anyway, although it is advised that you talk to existing base owners for advice or participation in their endeavors.

The following rewrite is the work of Bretgov, I'm just posting here to have a place to edit in a few changes and try to create an "infocard" version.

---

Proposed changes to Bretgov's may 2020 rewrite of laws (obsolete):

- remove the numbers in contraband tables
- fixed broken "/font" entry in table (spotted by Decktare)
- no need to repeat "full cargo" in every table line
- replace "Xm per 1,000 units." with "X000 per unit"
- fixed broken table ending before section 3
- the "float" around tables caused weird formatting breaks so I removed it (not sure why it was there at all)

Questions:

- "Law enforcement agencies so empowered by the Bretonian Government to make such decisions" not clear who that includes
- specifying that IFF is what makes you hostile will probably cause problems with people using IDs and gear of hostile factions accusing others of meta-gaming or unlawful arrest

---

Proposed changes to Bretgov's 05.06.2020 rewrite of laws (obsolete):

- "Pilots" should be changed to "pilots" in 4.1 kidnapping
- Look like someone forgot to remove 4.3 form section 3, because it's basically law 4.2. Removed it.
- removed N/A in tables because it just adds useless clutter
- made the "licensed and authorized research vessels" shorter like "licensed vessels"
- removed the part about "transporting to research facility"

Questions (not amended in the text yet):
- Is "Empress of the Taus" still a thing? Which Tau system(s) does still claim?
- I looked in 2 online dictionaries and google translate, and none knew "donfiscation" as a word. I'm guessing it means to donate the confiscated stuff to someone but would be better to keep the stuff easily understandable
- there should be a sentence about how to get a license for things like restricted cargo

The Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law

---

Within the Domain of Her Majesty Carina I, Queen of Bretonia, Empress of the Taus, Sovereign of the systems of Exeter, Inverness and Nottingham, the following Rules and Regulations shall be enforced by the agents of Her Majesty, the Crown.

Fines, detention, refusal of docking rights, or lethal force may be levied against persons or organisations found to have committed an offence. The sum of any potential fines, the length of detention, or the degree of force utilised will depend entirely on the severity of the situation in question. "On the spot" fines for offences may be no greater than $10,000,000 per contravention, unless specific alternate values are stated for the offence. Law enforcement agencies so empowered by the Bretonian Government to make such decisions may exceed these limits through the service of a written penalty notification on the Neural Net.

Primarily, all law abiding persons are granted - in so far as they conduct themselves in a manner that does not inhibit these same rights in others - the rights of protection under the law, freedom of assembly, passage, and transport, with the following restrictions:

---

1. Hostile Entities:

This offence applies to miscellaneous conduct that is considered detrimental to the Realm but not otherwise specified within this Charter. This could include but is not limited to inciting disorder, public obscenity, disrupting the neural net, piloting a vessel under the influence and other undesirable behaviours. Penalties issued under this provision may be appealed directly to the Bretonian Government.
