Law Level (Government) Synopsis
Law Level is an indication of the relative oppressiveness of the world or whom the law serves more: the inhabitants (...and visitors) or the government and politcians of a planet (...or polity).
The more centralized a government (polity) is, the more likely the laws codes are to be more oppressive.
Law Level (Government) Description
The (Law Level) code of the UWP is categorized on the (UWP Law Level Code Table) to show prohibitions against weapons. It also influences the difficulty to avoid being harassed or arrested by local authorities.
