Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Law (L)

Dihmir has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones.

Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
